Sexual Orientation Change Efforts and the Search for Authenticity

This article is based on structured interviews of a sample of 15 former participants in sexual orientation change efforts (SOCE), who currently identify as gay or lesbian. The primary research question for this study was, “What was the experience of self-identified gay men and lesbians who went through some type of SOCE and eventually asserted themselves as gay or lesbian?” The research concludes that participants sometimes identified as heterosexual during SOCE, but never changed their underlying homosexual orientation, and that suppression, disconnection, and a sense of inauthenticity were significant phenomena of this process.     

创业教育的评价体系与价值导向

对某一行为进行评价是规范行为主体的目的性、保障行为过程的科学性、实现行为结果的公益性的有力手段。创业教育的评价体系需包含学校、政府与社会这三大主体和以创业教育理念为统领的九大要素。评价的价值导向是要引导并促成由单纯的就业率评价向就业结构、就业质量、创业尝试评价转向,由毕业之时的就业率评价向若干年后的社会贡献评价转向,由家长期盼的评价向学生自我评价转向,由政府主导的评价向社会主导的评价转向。     

马克思主义中国化时代化大众化整体思想论纲

中国共产党对马克思主义之于中国的认识,从标准提法上看,经历了"马克思主义中国化""马克思主义中国化、大众化""马克思主义中国化、时代化、大众化"的渐进发展历程。但从内在本质意义上讲,马克思主义中国化时代化大众化是一个统一的整体。作为一个整体思想,它具有充分的立论依据、紧密相联的基本内容和重大的综合意义。     

数量体现述式的系统功能语法研究

系统功能语言学中的系统语法是体现性语法，语言被视为意义资源系统，而非封闭自足的规则系统。系统语法和阶与范畴语法的一个变化就是体现述式的引入，体现述式是对层际或层内体现关系的一种建模由操作项和操作符构成。系统功能语法主要识别了插入、排序、重合、扩展、预选等五种体现述式，本文基于系统功能语法对数量在体现过程中的体现述式进行跨语言的探索研究。      

我国物流立法价值取向冲突的法理分析

物流立法的价值取向是一个多元、多维、多层次的体系,物流立法不同价值取向之间的冲突不可避免,其突出表现为经济发展与社会秩序价值取向的冲突、经济效益与公平竞争价值取向的冲突和人本价值取向在物流立法中的缺失与偏离等三方面。解决以上冲突要贯彻价值位阶原则、平衡原则和效益最优原则,并从立法内部和立法外部两个方面构建消解机制。     

The estimation of treatment effect for the censored bivariate data under the univariate censoring

This paper establishes a nonparametric estimator for the treatment effect on censored bivariate data under unvariate censoring. This proposed estimator is based on the one from Lin and Ying(1993)'s nonparametric bivariate survival function estimator, which is itself a generalized version of Park and Park(1995)' quantile estimator. A Bahadur type representation of quantile functions were obtained from the marginal survival distribution estimator of Lin and Ying' model. The asymptotic property of this estimator is shown below and the simulation studies are also given     

The measurement of capital utilisation rates

A strategy using spline function interpolation is developed f o r estimating capital utilisation rates . Cobb-Douglas, CES and translog functional forms are used in estimation. Tests for functional forms are conducted leading t o t h e s e l e c t i o n of the Cobb-Douglas form. Quarterly series of estimated utilisation rates and excess capacity measures are presented.

Predicting infectious disease outbreak risk via migratory waterfowl vectors

The spread of an emerging infectious disease is a major public health threat. Given the uncertainties associated with vector-borne diseases, in terms of vector dynamics and disease transmission, it is critical to develop statistical models that address how and when such an infectious disease could spread throughout a region such as the USA. This paper considers a spatio-temporal statistical model for how an infectious disease could be carried into the USA by migratory waterfowl vectors during their seasonal migration and, ultimately, the risk of transmission of such a disease to domestic fowl. Modeling spatio-temporal data of this type is inherently difficult given the uncertainty associated with observations, complexity of the dynamics, high dimensionality of the underlying process, and the presence of excessive zeros. In particular, the spatio-temporal dynamics of the waterfowl migration are developed by way of a two-tiered functional temporal and spatial dimension reduction procedure that captures spatial and seasonal trends, as well as regional dynamics. Furthermore, the model relates the migration to a population of poultry farms that are known to be susceptible to such diseases, and is one of the possible avenues toward transmission to domestic poultry and humans. The result is a predictive distribution of those counties containing poultry farms that are at the greatest risk of having the infectious disease infiltrate their flocks assuming that the migratory population was infected. The model naturally fits into the hierarchical Bayesian framework.
