文化多样性研究述评

文化多样性是当前学术界研究的前沿问题。本文以国内外学者关于文化多样性的研究文献为基础,对文化多样性的形成与影响、文化的发展方向、文化多样性的保护等方面进行总结和回顾。     

城市交通中车辆择路行为实证研究

随机、时变的交通流分布,偶发的交通事故等因素导致了路径随机的车辆旅行时间,也决定了现实城市交通网络中只存在随机最短路.已有的路径选择研究大都假设人们力求选择最短路,而通过实际调查发现:人们的择路行为依赖出行情景,随出行目的、约束时间、对路径的熟悉程度以及路径的不确定程度而变化.验证了城市交通中人们在不确定环境下的择路行为也符合展望理论.

国际服务贸易发展新趋势及我国的对策选择

国际服务贸易是世界贸易的新增长点。近十年来,国际服务贸易增长超过国际货物贸易增长,呈现迅猛发展的态势。本文分析了国际服务贸易发展的新趋势和我国服务贸易发展的现状,在此基础上提出了发展我国国际服务贸易的对策。     

模糊学与模糊美学的现状与未来

作为观察世界的基本方法之一 ,模糊学是针对事物的模糊性而产生的。它和精确方法并不冲突 ,而是各自都有自己的范围。从某种角度上说 ,模糊方法是精确方法的沿伸和补充。受模糊学方法启发而产生的模糊美学 ,不但对于美学 ,对其它人文社会科学无疑也有十分积极的影响 ,因为它出现的本身就具有不可忽视的方法论意义。作为一门新学科、自然还需要不断完善 ,还需要多种学科的通力协作     

“三曹”与六朝诗风

“三曹”文学成就,世所公认。然不同时代对“三曹”的品鉴称许,表现出不同的审美好尚。如今人某些观点中就钟嵘《诗品》将陈思、文帝、魏武依次列入上、中、下三品所表现出的责难就体现了这种审美差异。实则“三曹”不仅仅体现出“建安风骨”这一种风格,他们亦是六朝以华美为主流的多元化美学风格的滥觞者。     

Practical Maximum Pseudolikelihood for Spatial Point Patterns(with Discussion)

This paper describes a technique for computing approximate maximum pseudolikelihood estimates of the parameters of a spatial point process. The method is an extension of Berman & Turner's (1992) device for maximizing the likelihoods of inhomogeneous spatial Poisson processes. For a very wide class of spatial point process models the likelihood is intractable, while the pseudolikelihood is known explicitly, except for the computation of an integral over the sampling region. Approximation of this integral by a finite sum in a special way yields an approximate pseudolikelihood which is formally equivalent to the (weighted) likelihood of a loglinear model with Poisson responses. This can be maximized using standard statistical software for generalized linear or additive models, provided the conditional intensity of the process takes an 'exponential family' form. Using this approach a wide variety of spatial point process models of Gibbs type can be fitted rapidly, incorporating spatial trends, interaction between points, dependence on spatial covariates, and mark information.     

On the power of goodness-of-fit tests for the exponential distribution under progressive Type-II censoring

The aim of this article is to review existing goodness-of-fit tests for the exponential distribution under progressive Type-II censoring and to provide some new ideas and adjustments. In particular, we consider two-parameter exponentially distributed random variables and adapt the proposed test procedures to our scenario if necessary. Then, we compare their power by an extensive simulation study. Furthermore, we propose five new test procedures that provide reasonable alternatives to those already known.     

Industrial relations and adjustments to the crisis: A comparative micro‐statistical analysis of France and Great Britain

In this comparative study, the authors analyse the relationships between industrial relations and workforce or wage adjustments in response to the 2007–08 crisis, using two highly comparable establishment‐level surveys conducted in Great Britain (WERS) and France (REPONSE) in 2010–12. Notwithstanding contextual differences in the countries’ productive systems and the timing and impact of the crisis, the relationships between industrial relations and adjustment strategies appear to have been similar (trade union presence not preventing adjustments). Differences in industrial relations are therefore not found to provide an explanation for the different modes of adjustment observed at the macroeconomic level.     

Innovative approaches to regulating decent work for domestic workers in Côte d'Ivoire: Labour administration and the judiciary under a general labour code

The authors offer a contextualized analysis of judicial decisions rendered during 1971–2013 in Côte d'Ivoire, where domestic work is regulated by a general labour code. Assessments of those decisions, alongside qualitative interviews of institutional actors, elucidate how innovative practices were mainly derived from the code by attentive inspectors and by jurisprudence evolving to treat domestic work like any other. Yet limitations emanating from the inability to grapple with the specificity of domestic work are also identified. Reaffirming that the regulation of domestic work must embrace its duality (work like any other and work like no other), the authors conclude with a call for an international community of learning on decent work for domestic workers.
