The Potential of A College Town As A Retirement Community

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the potential of college towns as retirement communities. The uniqueness of college towns as potential retirement communities are identified and discussed. Differences between college towns and Sunbelt state retirement destinations regarding the factors that are most concerned by retiree migrants in their decision-making for relocation were compared. The results showed no differences between the college towns and the Sunbelt state retirement cities. Only a few differences existed among the college town subgroups. The findings are of value to the senior living industry, local government and chamber of commerce in their efforts in marketing college towns as prospective retirement communities.     

盐城市乡村人居环境发展中的存在问题及对策研究

阐述了盐城市乡村人居环境发展的现状及存在问题。认为由于建设规划缺乏科学性、建造标准过低、建造技术落后等原因,盐城市的乡村人居环境仍处于低水平、低品质的状态之中。从政策、技术等多方面对盐城市乡村人居环境存在的问题进行针对性研究,重点解决乡村住宅建设、农民适度集中居住、乡村基础设施建设、乡村环境管理长效机制建立等问题。     

"双休制"对城市在业者休闲生活质量的影响

文章是以1995年我国实行周五天工作制后所进行的城市居民时间分配状况的一次重要调查获得的数据为依据,对城市在业者的休闲生活进行的研究.调查表明,"双休制"的实行给城市在业者带来了巨大的生活实惠和休闲生活质量收益.但同时表明,受传统的家庭内性别分工模式的影响,男女从业者的受益程度是不同的.此外,社会弱势群体的受益程度也偏低,在其体闲时间数量增加的同时,休闲生活质量的提高却相对滞后.     

论我国城市贫困化与城市居民最低生活保障制度

最低生活保障制度作为城市社会保障体系的“最后一道安全网” ,是我国城市社会保障体系的重要一环 ,对促进经济的发展 ,维护社会的稳定起着举足轻重的作用。但是 ,我国建立城市居民最低生活保障制度的时间较晚 ,还有许多不足之处等待改进和完善     

论婚姻在法学上的概念

作为婚姻法调整对象、婚姻法学研究对象的“婚姻”,必须有一个明确的法学概念。婚姻的法学概念应当与民法学中的民事行为概念相对应,并能在婚姻法学体系中始终如一。它应涵盖以下三层含义：以男女两性结合为基础;以共同生活为目的;具有夫妻身份的公示性。它应包括各种合法婚姻和违法婚姻,能将其与婚前性行为、纳妾、姘居、非婚同居等现象区分开来,而应避免和结婚、婚姻关系等法学概念混为一谈。     

论“全面小康”建设中的电视文化力

Inequality and welfare evaluation of heterogeneous income distributions

This paper establishes the principles that should govern the welfare and inequality analysis of heterogeneous income distributions. Two basic criteria – the equity preference condition and the compensation principle – are shown to be fundamentally incompatible. The paper favours the latter, thereby vindicating the traditional method of dealing with heterogeneous samples. However, inequality and welfare comparisons will usually be well defined only if equivalent incomes are obtained using constant scale factors; and researchers will need to distinguish clearly between inequality of nominal incomes and inequality of living standards. Furthermore, household observations must always be weighted according to family size.     

Out-of-Home Placement of Children and Economic Factors: An Empirical Analysis

In this paper, we use data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY) to estimate the effects of income, maternal employment, family structure, and public policies on several measures of childrens living arrangements. We use both linear probability models and discrete-time event history models to explore the effects of these factors on: (1) the probability that a child is living out-of-home in a given year; (2) the probability that a child is removed from home in a given year, conditional on the child living at home in the previous year; (3) the probability that a child is removed from home for the first time; (4) the probability that a child is reunified with his/her biological parent(s) given that the child was living out-of-home in the previous year. We also analyze whether these estimates differ by types of out-of-home placements. Our results suggest that children from lower-income, single-mother, and mother–partner families are considerably more likely both to be living out-of-home and to be removed from home. A change in family structure also tends to place a child at higher risk of an out-of-home living arrangement, unless this transition functions to bring a childs father back into the household. Maternal work appears to increase the probability that a child lives at home. Additionally, once a removal has taken place, we do not find a relationship between income and the probability of a family reunification, but we do find that single-mother and mother–partner families are less likely to reunify. Finally, our analyses provide some evidence that welfare benefit levels are negatively related to out-of-home placements.Funding for this project was provided the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development through grant number 5 F32 HD044 302-02.

尼采对历史及其历史教学的批判

尼采认为 ,历史是人的生命意志的反映 ,它是英雄人物在瞬间的艺术创作冲动的产物。人的历史开始于“个人具有创造性的自我解放欲望之际” ,这是尼采历史观的原始起点和意义支撑。他认为真正的历史应该有利于人的创造力的发挥和个体生命的解放 ,而现在的历史已经背离了历史的本来意义 ,成了生命发展的桎梏和障碍。现代历史教育是错误历史观与错误人生观相结合的产物 ,是一种摧残人性的教育 ,它使受教育者变得虚伪、迟缓、猜疑、抵触 ,并以软弱的人格、麻木的心态期待着刺激性“事件”的发生 ,哪怕它危及自己的生命。     

汉字－－研究中国史前社会的活化石

汉字特有的象真写实性决定了汉字的构造和读音中蕴藏了大量的历史信息,"依类象形"、"相生为字"的造字传说并非空穴来风.古人确是先造出有形的静态实物字名,然后再依类造出相应的动态叙事式字名.因此,汉字中同类静态实物字名与另一类相对应的动态叙事式字名之间存在着相生性叙事式逻辑关系,从中可解读出史前人类的生存状态.
