美国公民教育方法对我国思政教育的启示

美国作为世界上最发达的资本主义国家，其公民教育是成功的，美国公民教育的成功源于其方法的成功。探究美国公民教育方法，借鉴其宝贵经验，对建立一套符合我国实际的思想政治教育方法体系，促进我国思想政治教育的健康发展，具有重要的现实意义。     

Charisma as signal: An evolutionary perspective on charismatic leadership

We present an evolutionary perspective on charismatic leadership, arguing that charisma has evolved as a credible signal of a person's ability to solve a coordination challenge requiring urgent collective action from group members. We suggest that a better understanding of charisma's evolutionary and biological origins and functions can provide a broader perspective in which to situate current debates surrounding the utility and validity of charismatic leadership as a construct in the social sciences. We outline several key challenges which have shaped our followership psychology, and argue that the benefits of successful coordination in ancestral environments has led to the evolution of context-dependent psychological mechanisms which are especially attuned to cues and signals of outstanding personal leadership qualities. We elaborate on several implications of this signaling hypothesis of charismatic leadership, including opportunities for deception (dishonest signaling) and for large-scale coordination.

Estimation of error probabilities in stochastic dominance

The process of using data to infer the existence of stochastic dominance is subject to sampling error. Kroll and Levy (1980), among others, have presented simulation results for several normal and lognormal distributions which show high error probabilities for a wide range of parameter values. This paper continues this line of research and uses simulation to estimate error probabilities. Distributions considered are a pair of normals and a pair of lognormals. Analysis of these distributions is made computationally feasible through theoretical results which reduce the number of parameters of the pair of distributions from four to two.     

Deficit sustainability,and monetary versus fiscal dominance: The case of Spain, 1850–2000

In this paper, we provide a test of the sustainability of the Spanish government deficit over the period 1850–2000, emphasizing the role played by monetary and fiscal dominance in order to get fiscal solvency. Since the condition of fiscal solvency was satisfied, government deficit would have been sustainable along the sample period. In addition, the whole period can be characterized as one of fiscal dominance.     

基于委托代理理论的会计信息失真问题研究

会计信息失真问题越演越烈,并且已成为一个世界性难题。可靠性、真实性、相关性是会计信息质量的生命,但一系列会计舞弊行为的发生已篡改了会计信息的本来面目,会计信息"诚信工程"摇摇欲坠。造成会计信息失真的原因有很多,就此,我国也采取了相应的措施予以治理,但效果并不显著,往往是治标不治本。本文从产生会计信息失真问题的根源出发,重点剖析了在以委托代理理论为根基的现代股份制企业中会计信息失真的原因,并提出了提高委托代理制度下的会计信息质量的相应对策。     

Modelling of connected processes

The problem of comparing, contrasting and combining information from different sets of data is an enduring one in many practical applications of statistics. A specific problem of combining information from different sources arose in integrating information from three different sets of data generated by three different sampling campaigns at the input stage as well as at the output stage of a grey-water treatment process. For each stage, a common process trend function needs to be estimated to describe the input and output material process behaviours. Once the common input and output process models are established, it is required to estimate the efficiency of the grey-water treatment method. A synthesized tool for modelling different sets of process data is created by assembling and organizing a number of existing techniques: (i) a mixed model of fixed and random effects, extended to allow for a nonlinear fixed effect, (ii) variogram modelling, a geostatistical technique, (iii) a weighted least squares regression embedded in an iterative maximum-likelihood technique to handle linear/nonlinear fixed and random effects and (iv) a formulation of a transfer-function model for the input and output processes together with a corresponding nonlinear maximum-likelihood method for estimation of a transfer function. The synthesized tool is demonstrated, in a new case study, to contrast and combine information from connected process models and to determine the change in one quality characteristic, namely pH, of the input and output materials of a grey-water filtering process.     

中国台湾地区幼儿园乡土教学研究进展及未来展望

幼儿期是人生发展的关键时期，对幼儿进行乡土教育具有重要的文化传承意义。如何在幼儿园进行乡土教学也是一个值得研究的重要问题。台湾地区幼儿园乡土教学开展近三十年，在乡土教学的课程模式和个案实施方面具有了丰富的研究经验未来可以扩展乡土教学资源研究、加强乡土教学研究历程之间的衔接、开展行动研究编订乡土教材、加强乡土教学参与人员乡土认知的研究，进一步深化幼儿园乡土教学研究。
