Broadband Network Management and the Net Neutrality Debate

The debate of net neutrality and the potential regulation of net neutrality may fundamentally change the dynamics of data consumption and transmission through the Internet. The existing literature on economics of net neutrality focuses only on the supply side of the market, that is, a broadband service provider (BSP) may charge content providers for priority delivery of their content to consumers. In this article, we explore a complete spectrum of broadband network management options based on both the supply and demand sides of the market. We find that although the BSP always prefers the non‐neutral network management options, it does not always discriminate both sides of the market. From the social planner's perspective, we find that some network management options maximize the social welfare under certain market conditions while other options reduce the social welfare. Using the terminology from a recent Federal Communications Commission report and order, we categorize the social welfare maximizing options as “reasonable network management” and the social welfare reducing options as “unreasonable discrimination.” We also identify conditions under which the BSP's network management choices deviate from the social optimum. These conditions help establish the criteria under which the social planner might wish to regulate the BSP's actions.     

高校网络思想政治教育实施方法体系的构建

网络改变了传统思想政治教育方式,为高校思想政治教育提供了新的教育途径。高校的思想政治教育工作者可结合网络教育的特点,制定具体的教育方法,并按照组织者、参与者所起的主次作用的不同,把高校网络思想政治教育的实施方法分为：教育工作者主导的网络“三育人”方法、受教育者主动的网络自我教育方法、教育者与受教育者平等参与的网络双向互动方法、师生员工共同营造的网络环境优化方法以及学校、家庭、社会密切配合的网络合力育人方法,且在具体实施的过程中使其互相协调,充分发挥各自的特殊功能,更好地促进高校网络思想政治教育方法由低效走向高效。     

大型企业并购替代品制造商的福利效应研究

并购绩效的评价分为宏观和微观两个层次,宏观并购绩效的评价侧重于并购对社会的整体影响.通过对经典威廉姆森模型的适度扩展,将企业在替代品市场的并购与威廉姆森福利权衡模型相结合,是对并购宏观绩效(即社会净福利)进行相关分析的有益尝试.大企业在替代品市场的并购往往不单纯是为介入这一市场,而在于对这一替代品市场拥有一定的市场支配力.当企业在某个市场拥有一定的市场支配力后,便具备一定的价格支配能力.提升替代品市场上的价格很可能影响原产品市场的产品需求,即引起企业原产品市场需求曲线向右上方移动,进而影响社会净福利的大小,对特定条件下社会净福利变动方向等相关问题的研究有助于寻求增加社会福利的新途径.

网恋的社会心理分析

网恋的社会心理分析不仅具有学理价值,而且具有现实意义。恋爱具有虚拟性、神秘性、隐秘性、超时空 性和纯理想性等特点,其深层原因是浪漫心理、需要满足、人格因素和社会原因。网恋可分为"从虚拟走向现实" 和"让虚拟永远虚拟"两种形态。网恋成瘾会危害身体健康、产生心理障碍、破坏家庭稳定和导致校园危机。     

谈迁在北京的学术活动

明末清初著名史学家谈迁倾注毕生心血编纂了一部反映明朝历史的编年体史学巨著——《国榷》。为弥补史料不足,使《国榷》成为信史,自顺治十年十月至十三年二月,谈迁在北京进行了为期两年半的学术活动,搜集了大量弥足珍贵的史料,不仅订正了《国榷》记载的错误,而且补充了大量资料,尤其弥补了崇祯、弘光两朝史料的缺失。谈迁还撰写了《北游录》,是研究清朝初年北京历史的重要资料。     

网格纹、网崇拜与远古网猎经济

网格纹是新石器时代彩陶上非常流行的一种图案,反映的内容大致与远古时期网猎经济有关。中国甲骨文和汉族史料中有大量关于网猎和网崇拜的记载,藏族苯教中有崇拜“垛”的习俗,这些都是远古网猎文化的延续。     

基于Petri网的企业业务流程集成的研究

传统的业务流程集成过程包含五个主要的步骤——业务流程集成建模、仿真、执行、监控和优化。这五个步骤组成了一个闭环,以期达到最佳的集成效果。虽然这个步骤已经得到广泛应用,但还是存在着一些不足。文章将上面提到的业务流程集成步骤与层次Petri网理论结合起来,提出了一个改进的业务流程集成步骤。这个步骤可以解决原步骤中执行周期长、消耗大的问题。同时,着重论述了其中的一个主要步骤——业务流程集成建模,这也为业务流程集成在实际项目中的应用奠定了理论基础。     

Immigration: an election issue that has yet to be addressed?

ABSTRACT

Amongst other things, election year 2017 will be remembered for record levels of permanent and long-term migration. Immigration featured regularly in the media, both as a topic in its own right, as well as a factor associated with a deepening housing crisis in Auckland, increasing congestion on the roads in Auckland and in major tourist towns, and much faster population growth than had been anticipated. Yet immigration was not a prominent issue in either the election or during the first six months of the Labour-led Coalition Government. In this paper we assess the impact of policy changes introduced by the National Government in October 2016 and July 2017. Our analysis draws on several data sets, some of which have been withdrawn from public access regrettably. Declining net migration gains and concerns over exploitation of people on study and short-term work visas has delayed major changes in immigration policy through to June 2018.     

基于因子分析的陕西省农村公共产品供给与农民收入的实证研究

陕西省作为我国西部地区的农业大省,在农村的发展、农民的收入和农业的收成方面都还存在较大的瓶颈。基于因子分析,农村公共产品的有效供给是促进农民增收的重要机制,通过加大力度支持农村科教文卫事业,保证农业生产资料完善置备和加快农村基础设施建设的步伐,能进一步增加陕西省农民收入,提高农民生活水平,从而使之成为真正的农业大省。
