Lottery Funding and Changing Organizational Identity in the UK Voluntary Sector

This paper focuses upon ways in which National Lottery funding impacts upon aspects of identity for small- to medium-sized organizations in the United Kingdom, and highlights some of the less-anticipated difficulties that groups may experience after receipt of a grant. A large Lottery grant can facilitate rapid expansion and may necessitate a degree of organizational learning for which groups are often unprepared. The paper suggests that a Lottery grant may lead to changes in the ways in which an organization identifies itself, or is identified by stakeholders. However, these changes may not be accompanied by a corresponding change in the organization's capacity or underlying cultural ethos. On the basis of the primary research carried out in 2003, the paper examines the implications of these changes for individual organizations and for the sector more widely.     

政府对彩票业的法律规制——问题、成因及和谐社会理念下的制度面应对

我国彩票业在取得相当业绩的基础上,存在一些突出的问题.这些问题具有深刻的制度面成因,主要是现行监管体制和发行体制的重重弊病以及彩票管制规范基础的薄弱.在和谐社会理念引导下,彩票业的规制改革应当着力于彩票管制正当性和效率性的双重考量.具体而言,应当以市场化为导向改革发行体制,以独立化为目标组建新的监管机构,从各个位阶补足彩票业管制的规范,并在管制过程中引入公众参与.类似于彩票管制这样的公共论题,需要多学科的融合以加强知识累积、促进制度建设.

Sex hormones and choice under risk

We study the correlation of choice under risk in Holt–Laury lotteries for gains and losses with gender, the use of hormonal contraceptives, menstrual cycle information, salivary testosterone, estradiol, progesterone, and cortisol as well as the digit ratio (2D:4D; length of the index finger to the ring finger of the right hand) in more than 200 subjects (45% females). In males, salivary testosterone is negatively correlated with risk aversion for gains only. In females, salivary cortisol is positively correlated with risk aversion for gains only. No other significant correlations between risk preferences and salivary hormones are observed. No significant correlations between risk preferences and the menstrual cycle are observed in naturally cycling females. No significant correlations between risk preferences and the digit ratio are observed in either gender and/or race.
