Financial Issues Associated with Having a Child with Autism

Data from the Family Experiences with Autism Survey are used to identify factors associated with financial problems in families that have a child with autism. Likelihood of financial problems was positively associated with use of medical interventions, having unreimbursed medical or therapy expenses, and having relatively lower income. Use of speech and language therapy was negatively associated with likelihood of financial problems. Many survey respondents forfeited future financial security and even experienced bankruptcy to provide needed therapy for a child with autism. Specific ways that financial advisors can help families that have a child with autism are outlined.

农村公共产品生产与农民负担问题

在农民与乡村组织的长期交易过程中,不管农民在改革前后有没有意识到负担的存在及其严重程度,农村公共产品的决策机制还是无情地让弱势农民承担了大部分农村公共产品的生产。农村税费改革与农业税取消的政策从根本上减轻了农民负担,然而与此同时,一贯依赖于农民负担的农村公共事务与公益事业的处境也将更加尴尬。只有选择好与农村发展要求相适应的公共产品生产路径,才能切实减轻农民负担。

试论开发性金融机构的盈利性目标

国家开发银行作为政府的开发性金融机构,是一种特殊的经济组织。其是否追求盈利,决定了其不同的经营方针和经营模式,这是财政融资与市场化融资的分野所在,也是开发性金融与政策性金融的根本区别。本文在此基础上解释了开发性金融机构盈利性目标的内涵,开发性金融机构的盈利模式,并论证了其为什么需要注重盈利性目标,并实现政策性目标与盈利性目标的协调统一。     

论道德目的论与道德工具论

道德目的论与道德工具论是两种关于道德性质、功能、作用等的伦理学说和道德价值理论。道德目的论以道德为目的 ,认为道德本身即具有内在价值和目的善 ,道德工具论以道德为某种更高目的的手段 ,认为道德只具有外在价值和手段善。二者各有所长亦各有所短 ,但都未能科学地解决人与道德的关系问题 ,犯了割裂目的与手段的错误。新道德应当超越道德目的论与道德工具论的对立 ,实现道德目的与道德手段的辩证统一。     

论无罪推定与刑事证明责任的分配

无罪推定作为我们司法的一项基本原则,无罪推定中所明确的证明责任,是由控诉方承担证明责任,被告方一般不承担证明责任。但在特殊的情况下,被告方也要承担证明自己无罪的责任,这与无罪推定并不矛盾。     

心理学是关于主观实在的科学

传统哲学中的意识与物质,从广义上讲就是主观实在和客观实在。主观实在与客观实在是相互联系又相互独立的两种实在,其关系可以分为心物关系和心脑关系两种。心物关系属于哲学问题,心脑关系则属于科学问题。而就两种实在本身而言,它们都不属于哲学研究的范围。客观实在属于自然科学和社会科学研究的内容,主观实在则属于心理学研究的对象。

Malaria in Pacific populations: seen but not heard?

Most Pacific Island countries are located in the tropics, where there is an abundance of mosquitoes with the potential to carry debilitating or life-threatening vector-borne diseases. This article examines three Melanesian countries in which malaria is endemic—Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands and Vanuatu—but the threat posed by the spread of malaria gives the issues a broader significance to the Pacific region. After discussing the spatial distribution and prevalence of malaria in the Pacific, the article examines a number of health interventions through which people have sought to control malaria. Although the disease was nearly eradicated in the Pacific in the 1970s, it is no longer in retreat. The article concludes by examining why there are still grounds for cautious optimism, and the challenges that Pacific Island countries face in reducing the impact of malaria on their populations. There is a need for prompt and concerted action on malaria at the national, regional and international levels if the public health concerns arising from the disease are to be adequately addressed.     

巴赫型音乐对波普尔“客观知识”学说的影响

摘耍：波普尔的“客客观知识”在其客观性属性上,类似于超脱贝多芬的自我性、体现客观美感的巴赫型音乐。巴赫音乐音符与音符之间具有严谨又不失美感的客观秩序、不能被理性所摒弃的严密的数的逻辑构架,其客观性诉求与波普尔寻求超脱于主观、从而能够在客观形式中达到统一的知识类型——“客观知识”学说建构之间,存在发生学关联,直接导致波普尔对世界2与世界3的医分。巴赫型音乐对于波普尔科学哲学的深刻影响,为音乐与科学、哲学之间的彼此通约,提供了典型的个案。关键词：波普尔;巴赫型音乐;贝多芬;客观知识;世界3
