Parents at‐risk and their children: intersections of gender role attitudes and parenting practices

Existing research demonstrates that parent and child gender may influence important aspects of family relationships; however, most research in this area has been conducted with non‐clinical samples. As clinicians, it is important to consider how gender impacts family relationships, particularly among vulnerable families. This study examined the intersections of gender role attitudes and parenting practices among 34 parents involved with the child welfare system and referred for clinical intervention. Using a mixed methods design, themes regarding gender role beliefs and parenting practices were found through qualitative interviews with parents. Findings suggested that fathers felt responsible for financially providing for their families and expressed challenges in communicating with mothers, and mothers described challenges they face because of a lack of father involvement. Parents also discussed a perceived need to monitor daughters closely while fostering the independence of their sons. Results of the qualitative analyses were supported by quantitative findings indicating significant differences in harsh and inconsistent discipline practices and clear expectations for girls compared to boys. The discussion addresses implications for clinicians, including how a feminist family therapy perspective may help promote client influence over traditional gender norms by questioning gender role attitudes and exploring alternate narratives that may impact family dynamics.     

Multiple comparisons in two-factor testing of psychophysical thresholds by the delta test method

We propose an algorithm of multiple comparisons in two-factor testing of psychophysical thresholds. We use logistic regression combined with guessing rate and adopt the step-down procedure with Ryan–Einot–Gabriel–Welsch (REGW) significance levels for multiple test. We test hypotheses of main effects and interaction in two-factor problem by using the delta test statistics.     

Riemann manifold Langevin methods on stochastic volatility estimation

In this article, we perform Bayesian estimation of stochastic volatility models with heavy tail distributions using Metropolis adjusted Langevin (MALA) and Riemman manifold Langevin (MMALA) methods. We provide analytical expressions for the application of these methods, assess the performance of these methodologies in simulated data, and illustrate their use on two financial time series datasets.     

Application of an imputation method for variance estimation under pseudo-likelihood when missing data are NMAR

When data are outcome-dependent non response, pseudo-likelihood yields consistent regression coefficients without specifying the missing data mechanism. However, it is onerous to derive parameter estimators including their standard errors from the regression coefficients under pseudo-likelihood (PL). The present study applies an imputation method to compute the asymptotic standard errors of parameter estimators. The proposed method is simpler than Delta method and it showed similar effect size of the standard errors to bootstrapping in simulation and application studies.     

岑参凉州诗的情感内涵及传播意义

岑参是盛唐最具代表性的边塞诗人,一生两度出塞,历时五六年,对边地生活有深刻的体验和积极的反思,创作了七十多首边塞诗,其中作于凉州的七首诗,情感意蕴丰厚,广为传诵。这七首诗或记行踪述战事;或抒壮志发乡思;或怀前贤念友朋;或描名胜、绘风情。诗歌呈现出慷慨悲凉的情感特点,表露了诗人在凉州时期复杂的心境,堪称诗人前半生艰辛跋涉的心灵史诗;同时岑参以诗歌为媒介把凉州的物候地貌、风土人情,异域文化传输到内地,推动了民族间的文化融合,岑参的凉州诗又有文献传播和保存的重要意义。     

学前教育专业幼儿文学课程的定位及设置构想

幼儿文学课程是学前教育专业的一门专业基础课,其课程目标是通过幼儿文学基本知识的学习与实践,提高学生鉴赏、表现及创编幼儿文学的能力。课程内容可分为理论讲授模块、课内实践模块和课外延伸模块。课程教学中应做到以下几点：理论讲授时注重学生的主动参与;作品鉴赏教学中注重学生的情感体验;实践教学中注重学生能力的培养。课程评价体系的内容与形式应力求多样化。     

农村税费改革：基于双层次互动进化博弈模型的分析

农村税费改革中三个利益主体中央政府、地方政府和农民的博弈可以看作是宏观和微观两个层次的博弈,地方政府是将这两个博弈层次连接起来的纽带。通过建立双层次互动进化博弈模型来分析达到进化稳定均衡的过程,要达到这个过程也是宏观层次的“选择”和微观层次的“突变”过程,是一个重复博弈的过程。结合对模型的分析和我国现行的农村税费改革,可以得到三点启示:考虑三方博弈主体的利益;鼓励微观层次的突变;避免地方政府的“寻租”行为。     

均值—条件风险价值模型有效前沿分析——以含无风险资产和持有期为研究视角

从有效投资组合的角度构建持有期下含有无风险资产的均值—条件风险价值模型,用Lagrange乘子法对该模型求解,可得到:一定条件下,新模型的有效前沿与均值—方差模型有效前沿是一致的;且当借贷利率不同时,新模型的有效前沿可以根据组合预期收益率与借贷利率的不同关系,由线段、双曲线以及射线三个部分组合而成。

晚清州县官任职制度的紊乱——透视中国传统政治的深层矛盾

清代对州县官的任职资格与程序等定有完备的制度。清咸同以后,督抚多方破坏各种有关州县官任用的定制;州县官委署与补用漫无章程;滥开捐例与滥行保举导致候补人员壅塞,吏治腐败,州县官任职制度因此陷于紊乱。透过晚清州县官任职制度紊乱的表象,可以发现中国传统政治和社会体制中所存在的各种深层矛盾,主要包括"人治"与"法治"无法协调,官僚队伍恶性膨胀不可避免,以及良性政治不能见容于恶劣社会环境等。
