Solving the Stochastic Growth Model by Parameterizing Expectations

This article describes a method for solving the one-good stochastic growth model by parameterizing the expectations part of the stochastic Euler equation. The conditional expectation is specified as a function of the state of the system, and the parameters of that function are estimated to solve the model. The article includes a discussion of how to find the parameters of the function and determine systematically the complexity of the functional form necessary to solve the model.     

Distributing Journals to the World

Abstract

In 2001, a number of initiatives began for distributing research journals to parts of the world where they are otherwise not accessible. This “Balance Point” reports on two publishers whose journals are now more broadly available in developing nations. HighWire Press offers both a free back issue archive and a developing countries initiative. Blackwell Publishing is working with a Russian consortium to make journals available to Russian universities and with nongovernmental organizations to provide free or nearly free access to biomedical journals in a number of developing nations.

本文通过对语词"悲剧"不同用法的分析,总结出该语词具有开放性结构的特点.它既包含相似性,也包容差异性.因此我们在研究悲剧理论时,首先应对这一语词有所界定.     

结构助词“的”的使用规律

对结构助词“的”的使用规律。从句子、语义、语用三个平面加以考察。“的”的取舍对句法、语义结构关系产生影响时，必须用“的”；对句法、语义结构的改变没有影响时，“的”的取舍由语用上的需要决定。“的”的取舍在句法、语义规则上具有强制性，在语用规则上具有选择性。     

论隐喻含意策略在外显意义规避中的作用

人们在日常交际中的话语内隐意义是通过话语表达的字面意义实现的,也就是说话语表达的实际意义总是大于字面意义。隐喻对话语的外显意义的规避有规约性的作用,即常规的会话含意是由话语中特定词语的意义所决定的;而非常规会话含意则产生于具体的会话场合,其推导离不开人们对当时语境特征的把握。因此,人们在理解含意时可以利用隐含意义传递的常规手段,而非常规会话含意则涉及外显意义的隐喻策略性回避。

Effects of a multimodal activation program (SimA-P) in residents of nursing homes

Is it possible to maintain or even enhance functional and cognitive independence in residents of nursing homes? Little is known about the potentials and limits of therapeutic methods designed to maintain independence in elderly people already in need of residential nursing care. The aim of the “Rehabilitation in Nursing Homes” research project was to determine the practicability and effectiveness of a rehabilitative approach targeting residents of nursing homes. The main objectives of the activation program were to maintain and enhance residents’ cognitive and functional autonomy. Data on psychological, functional, and medical variables were obtained from a sample of 294 nursing home residents (age range?=?70–99 years) at three points of measurement over a 12-month period. The intervention approach draws on the theoretical and practical findings of the SimA Study (“Bedingungen der Erhaltung und Förderung von Selbstständigkeit im höheren Lebensalter,” “conditions on maintaining and supporting independent living in old age”; Oswald et al., Z. Gerontopsychol. Psychiatr., 15:61–84, 2002, Z. Gerontopsychol. Psychiatr., 15:13–31, 2002) and incorporates the results of recent therapeutic and rehabilitative studies in the fields of geriatrics and gerontopsychiatry. The intervention involves a combined program of cognitive and physical activation. An alternative program based on biographical information was designed specifically for residents with dementia. Results show that the intervention had significant effects on cognitive and functional parameters. Moreover, transfer effects were observed with respect to activities of daily living and frequency of falls.
