Differences in health-related quality of life among persons living with HIV/AIDS

We sought to identify differences in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among a sample of HIV positive individuals receiving case management services in northern Florida. Our study consisted of 97 individuals receiving HIV case management that included 56 males (57.7%) and 81 African Americans (83.5%) who were 47.05 years old (SD = 9.33). HRQoL was measured using the HIV/AIDS Targeted-Quality of Life scale (HAT-QOL). Results show significant group differences in HRQoL by race, income, tobacco use, alcohol use, drug use, and CD4 cell count, despite only 43% of this sample being able to recall their most recent CD4 count. Translating these findings to inform practice, HIV care providers need to provide continuing education to patients about their disease status, knowledge, and treatment as it relates to self-care. Also, HIV care providers should be especially cognizant of the impact that tobacco, alcohol, and illicit drug use has on HRQoL for persons living with HIV/AIDS (PLHA) by working to assess social support, identify readiness for change, and make appropriate referrals for treatment.     

An integrated approach for water resources decision making under interactive and compound uncertainties

In recent years, the issue of water allocation among competing users has been of great concern for many countries due to increasing water demand from population growth and economic development. In water management systems, the inherent uncertainties and their potential interactions pose a significant challenge for water managers to identify optimal water-allocation schemes in a complex and uncertain environment. This paper thus proposes a methodology that incorporates optimization techniques and statistical experimental designs within a general framework to address the issues of uncertainty and risk as well as their correlations in a systematic manner. A water resources management problem is used to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed methodology. The results indicate that interval solutions can be generated for the objective function and decision variables, and a number of decision alternatives can be obtained under different policy scenarios. The solutions with different risk levels of constraint violation can help quantify the relationship between the economic objective and the system risk, which is meaningful for supporting risk management. The experimental data obtained from the Taguchi's orthogonal array design are useful for identifying the significant factors affecting the means of total net benefits. Then the findings from the mixed-level factorial experiment can help reveal the latent interactions between those significant factors at different levels and their effects on the modeling response.

广州定位国家中心城市及拓展战略腹地的构想

本文对广州被定位为“国家中心城市”应具备的功能进行了分析，指出要有能影响全国的综合实力和足够的发展空间，即腹地资源。后者恰是广州发挥中心城市功能作用存在的“软肋”。文章提出借广州“国家中心城市”新定位的契机，深化广州与泛珠三角的区域合作，拓展八大战略腹地，把广州“建成面向世界、服务全国的国际大都市”。

JD-R模式下过度劳动的多维动态性形成与管理研究

随着我国经济的快速发展,过度劳动的现象日益突出,过度劳动的后果是相关人员生活、工作、人际关系等质量下降,由此导致组织绩效下降。通过调研和实证,以JDR模型为分析基础,将过度劳动的形成要素归纳为基础变量、直接变量和间接变量三大维度,在此基础上构建了过度劳动的形成机制模型,并通过工作压力度这个中介变量揭示了三大变量之间的关系及过度劳动的动态形成机理。结合国情,建立了对过度劳动进行有效管理的模型,从两大系统和六个层面提出对过度劳动进行动态化、体系化的预防与应对策略。     

Unpacking Within‐Household Gender Differences in Partners' Subjective Benefits From Household Income

The authors examine how contributions to household resources, indicated by employment status, influence satisfaction with household income (SWHI) for members of male/female couples. They take changes in SWHI, which may differ within couples, to indicate changes in perceived benefits from their common household income, benefits that can go beyond individual consumption. Using data from the British Household Panel Survey for 2,396 couples from 1996 to 2007, three gender effects are identified. First, men predominate in making the type of contribution that most positively influences SWHI, namely, full‐time employment. Second, the effect of contributions depends on the gender of the contributor, with men's employment being more influential than women's. Third, within couples, making the more influential contribution, as men tend to do, leads to relatively greater SWHI. The authors conclude that gender asymmetry in contributions made to household resources is one way in which gender inequalities invade and inhabit households.     

网络文化发展困境与柔性管理

论机关管理的价值目标取向

作为与广义行政管理具有密切联系的机关管理,其价值取向必然与行政管理的价值取向具有一致性,与农业、工业、信息社会相对应,行政管理的价值取向经历了由稳定→效率→治理服务的转变,相应的机关管理的价值目标也应经历这三个阶段和境界。当前机关管理的价值目标取向是以以人为本为核心,以治理理念为框架的服务社会理念。
