Determinants of recent immigrants’ location choices: quasi-experimental evidence

This paper exploits a Danish spatial dispersal policy on refugees, which can be regarded as a natural experiment to investigate the influence of regional factors on recent immigrants’ location choices. The main push factors are lack of co-nationals and immigrants. Additional push factors are lack of rental, including social, housing and lack of institutions for qualifying education, which explain why recent immigrants are attracted to large cities. Finally, placed refugees tend to leave locations with relatively high regional unemployment, and there is indirect evidence of welfare seeking.

The role of social and cognitive factors in individual gambling: An empirical study on college students

Most of the studies on the determinants of individual gambling behaviour rely on cognitive theories. In our study, we argue that, besides cognitive factors, several social factors might play an important role as well. We analyse data from an ad hoc webmail survey conducted on about 2000 undergraduate students enrolled in a large public university in the Northern Italy in the academic year 2012–13. Using a variety of statistical techniques (standard regression models, boosted regression trees and structural equations models), we show that social variables affect both participation in gambling in the past year and latent gambling propensity. In particular, controlling for several proxies for individual cognitive ability and understanding of probability, gambling propensity is positively affected by the degree of gambling in the social surrounding (parents, peers, neighbourhood) and the acceptability of gambling activities to the individual. Moreover, in our sample of college students the role of social factors appears to be larger than that of cognitive factors, and this is consistent across different types of models and specifications.     

Patterns and severity of menopausal symptoms among Jordanian women

We examined 359 women aged 45–65 years who visited Jordan University Hospital between February and November 2014. The menopausal symptoms were assessed using a validated Arabic version of the menopause rating scale. The mean age at menopause was 49.4 years. Women aged 50–55 years more frequently exhibited hot flushes and vaginal dryness. Although premenopausal women were 1.5 times more likely to experience irritability, perimenopausal women were more likely to experience hot flushes, physical and mental irritability, sexual problems, vaginal dryness, and joint and muscular discomfort. Hence, health care providers should focus on women at all stages of life.

儒学价值的当代转换与社会主义核心价值体系建设

社会主义核心价值体系是一个有着丰富内涵且结构复杂的系统。社会主义核心价值体系建设必须建立在民族文化传统的基础上,克服中国元素少、只注重文献诠释而忽视对"活着"的传统的考察等倾向。儒学价值的当代转换及其应用于社会主义核心价值体系的建设,应注重从文本到现实,从具象到抽象,再从抽象到具象的互动,这就要求我们必须认清历史发展和文化传统的脉络,使理论具有前瞻性和预见性。继承和弘扬儒学的道德自觉等精华,要以确立现代法权人格为前提,凝练核心价值观应着力于人格的修养与社会正义的互动,儒学传统中的仁爱、和谐、责任、自强等理念可以与公正、民主、信用等价值进行综合创新。     

近年来社会主义意识形态研究综述

社会主义意识形态研究,是关系党和国家事业全局的重大问题,也是学术界关注的重点。近年来,学术界在马克思的意识形态思想研究、对列宁意识形态理论的总体把握、社会主义核心价值体系研究、社会主义意识形态建设的创新性研究等方面,取得了显著成绩。但某些基本问题仍有继续探讨的空间:学术界还缺乏对"社会主义意识形态"内涵的清晰界定,缺少对关键问题和基础性问题的深度思考。     

编辑审稿中的非学术因素及排除之策

学术期刊是学术和学科建设的重要阵地,应以学术性作为编辑审稿工作的唯一标准。然而,在现有学术评价体制的影响下,这一工作受到了诸多非学术因素的消极干扰,如以作者身份的高低而非稿件质量的高低来取舍稿件。这一非学术性倾向直接影响了审稿的公正性,也削弱了编辑审稿活动的意义,是学术评价异化的一种反映,不利于学术研究的正常进行和健康发展。编辑应该强化责任意识,自觉克服心理因素,排除思维定势,提高学术判断力,重视学术新人的发现和扶持,从而有效发挥学术期刊在学术和学科建设中的积极作用。     

IT投资转化为企业生产率的影响因素研究

关于"IT投资是否能提高企业生产率"这一命题,学界一直众说纷纭,一个很重要的原因在于这些研究建立在IT投资能对企业生产率产生直接影响的假设前提之上,而忽略了IT作用于企业生产率的中间过程。IT投资必须与企业内部生产环境相吻合才能提高企业生产率,IT投资转化为企业生产率的影响因素包括内部因素和外部因素,其中内部因素包括企业管理特征、企业员工特征及企业结构特征;外部因素指的是企业所面临的外部环境。
