从国际政治经济学角度解读日本的经援外交

在无政府状态下的国际社会,随着经济全球化的发展,相互联系的行为体纷纷通过经济的手段进行“博弈”,实现政治大国目标,是日本战后外交追求的主要目标。从国际政治经济学角度看,日本对中国、东盟、印度、非洲和拉美等地区推行经援外交,其实质在于为其政治目标服务。从日本的经援外交的发展与变化,分析日本在经援外交上的成败与得失,可为新世纪中国外交战略的制定提供借鉴与参考。     

Health Insurance for All Long-Term Care Workers: Estimated Costs and Coverage Impacts in Minnesota and Recommendations for States

A major barrier to building a strong workforce to meet the growing need for long-care is lack of affordable health benefits. This study projects impacts of funding health coverage for all long-term care workers in Minnesota. Under the most cost effective model plan design, enrollment in employer-sponsored coverage would increase 73% to 100% for individual coverage and 26% to 42% for family coverage. Total monthly costs would be $698/worker in the commercial market or $634/worker through a new dedicated risk pool. Based on our findings and past research, the authors present recommendations for structuring and implementing a long-term care worker health insurance initiative.     

Towards Customized Deliberations

ABSTRACT

The profession of social work has important contributions to make in the rapidly developing dialog about medical care decision making and to the evolution of hospitals as systems that engage with people as patients, for whom illnesses create increased vulnerability (Gruber, 1998). Professional ethics clearly states that the individual professional social worker has a responsibility to influence processes involving vulnerable populations. Articulating social work's responsibility and potential contributions in the area of medical care decision making begins with an application of social work's mission and values, and then continues with consideration of the profession's evolving role in hospitals. Pertinent aspects of the health care industry, including current models for continuum of care and for provider-patient relationships, are discussed in terms of opportunities to modify the models used to guide interactions with patients. Finally, the impact of a growing number of distinct treatment options is also considered. The objective of the article is to offer social workers in health care settings a conceptual framework for considering professional ethical obligations and for participating in the contemporary dialog regarding medical care decision-making.     

Mental Illness,Social Construction,and Managed Care

Abstract

Managed care is creating a social reality that affects the lives of millions. Mental health coverage under health care plans is a function of how mental illness and its proper treatment are defined. These definitions are shaped by social actors competitively seeking to satisfy their particular interests. This paper examines the influence of privatized managed behavioral health care on these evolving social definitions, as evidenced in published works, written reports, and legal actions. It is written from the perspective of social workers as providers of services and advocates for social justice. Options for social work responses to managed behavioral health care are explored.     

国立西北联合大学的分合及其历史意义

通过新见历史档案、报刊文献,清理和还原国立西北联合大学母体与子体演化的历史脉络,重新反思和认识其在中国高等教育发展史上的重要地位。研究结果表明:1937年9月10日成立的国立西安临时大学—国立西北联合大学母体与其子体,即国立西北五校——国立西北工学院、国立西北农学院、国立西北大学、国立西北师范学院、国立西北医学院从1937年临大成立至1946年各自回迁复校,具有分而有合的紧密联系,是一个完整的研究客体。其母体与子体在大西北历时九年艰苦卓绝的办学过程,形成了人文社科、理工农医完整学科体系和教育体系,拥有505名教授和1 489名员工的师资队伍,毕业学生9 257人,五校均开始招收研究生,奠定了中国西北高等教育的基础,并为21世纪的西部大开发储备了人力资本。     

社会救助的贫困治理绩效及其“陷阱”规避——以三江源生态移民为例

通过对三江源生态移民定居点的实地调查,发现不少移民家庭因迁移致贫、返贫.政府所实施的社会救助能够保障贫困移民基本生活所需,却不能够促进其充分就业,所以容易引发“贫困陷阱”.为了优化三江源生态移民社会救助的贫因治理绩效,基于国际社会规避“贫困陷阱”一般经验,提出了在制度设计上针对有劳动能力的贫困人口构建就业激励导向的救助策略.     

Comparison of procedures for estimation of error rates in discriminant analysis under nonnormal population

The parametric and nonparametric methods for estimating the error rates in linear discriminant analysis are examined both in normal and in nonnormal situations. A Monte Carlo experiment was carried out under the assumption that two population distributions were characterized by a mixture of two multivariate normal distributions. The bootstrap bias-corrected apparent error rate compares favourably to other available estimators for nonnormal populations with small Mahalanobis distance. The methods for error estimation are also applied to a practical problem in medical diagnosis
