“当/在S还是X的时候”结构新探

本文分为三个部分。第一部分考察"当/在S还是X的时候"的结构和功能;第二部分分析简缩形式"还是X的时候";第三部分探讨常见组合"当/在S还是X的时候,S'就……"的意义与语用特点。最后是本文的小结。     

Child‐Care Usage and Mother‐Infant “Quality Time”

Mothers' time‐use patterns were compared in families in which infants spent more than 30 hours per week in child care (In‐Care group; n= 143) versus 0 hours per week (At‐Home group; n= 183) from birth to 6 months of age. In‐Care group mothers spent about 12 fewer hours per week interacting with their infants, for about 32% less time; fathers of these infants were more involved in caregiving. The groups did not differ in the quality of mother‐infant interaction. In the In‐Care group, quantity of interaction was related to greater separation anxiety and concerns about effects of maternal employment. Time‐use data were not related to child outcomes at 15 months of age. Results suggest that the effect of extensive time spent apart on the quantity and quality of mother‐infant interaction may be smaller than anticipated.     

Missing data and forecasting in multivariate time series: An application of the common components dynamic linear model

Summary The paper deals with missing data and forecasting problems in multivariate time series making use of the Common Components Dynamic Linear Model (DLMCC), presented in Quintana (1985), and West and Harrison (1989). Some results are presented and discussed: exploiting the correlation between series, estimated by the DLMCC, the paper shows as it is possible to update state vector posterior distributions for the unobserved series. This is realized on the base of the updating of the observed series state vectors, for which the usual Kalman filter equations can be applied. An application concerning some Italian private consumption series provides an example of the model capabilities.     

跨文化交际中的时空观念差异

不同文化背景的人,由于受不同文化传统的影响,其思维方式不同,在人际交往中的时间观念(如时间顺序排列、时间取向、遵守时间的态度)和空间观念(如对体距的认识、对个人领地的态度等)也存在差异。这些差异往往容易被人们忽视,从而影响交际的正常进行,甚至导致交际的失败。因此,在交往中我们应该正确对待文化差异,自觉排除文化差异的干扰。     

时间如何前进——进化论随笔

中国古代"与时偕行"、"与时俱化"的观念,以取法天地四时的运行为基准,是一种四时循环论的变化观.我党提出的"与时俱进"思想的含义,是随着时代的前进而前进,和随着时代的变化而变化,体现了鲜明的时代创新精神,它的哲学基础是科学进化论.这一特征在语词上通过一个"进"字表达出来.虽然"与时俱进"和"与时俱化"只有一字之差,却体现了本质的超越.同时,这一表述通过对中国古代<易经>、<庄子>等经典的吸收,丰富了自身的思想内涵,也建立,了联接传统与现代的一道桥梁.当然,由于现代时间观念的一维性质,使得人们在批驳"直线进化论"的同时,易于陷入"时间进化论",而时间进化论实际上也是一种直线进化论,这也是需要警醒的.

马克思主义与时俱进的哲学思考

马克思主义具有与时俱进的理论品质。马克思主义哲学是这个理论品质的理论基础。实践与理论的矛盾运动、对真理的探求、以及创造崭新的马克思主义话语体系,都要求马克思主义与时俱进。     

Economic Determinants of Net International Migration in Western Europe

This paper aims to estimate theinfluence of economic determinants on netinternational migration in Western Europe inthe period 1960–1998. Net migration rates(i.e., population growth minus natural increase,divided by the midyear population) constitutethe dependent variable. The economicdeterminants used in this study are GDP percapita, unemployment, and average educationallevel (amount of human capital) of thepopulation. Time series regression models havebeen used in country-specific analyses. Inaddition, a pooled cross-sectional time seriesanalysis has been made. The analyses suggestthat GDP per capita has a positive effect andunemployment a negative effect on a country'snet international migration.     

Conditional Likelihood Estimators for Hidden Markov Models and Stochastic Volatility Models

ABSTRACT.  This paper develops a new contrast process for parametric inference of general hidden Markov models, when the hidden chain has a non-compact state space. This contrast is based on the conditional likelihood approach, often used for ARCH-type models. We prove the strong consistency of the conditional likelihood estimators under appropriate conditions. The method is applied to the Kalman filter (for which this contrast and the exact likelihood lead to asymptotically equivalent estimators) and to the discretely observed stochastic volatility models.     

公民权与美国工业化时期缩短工时运动研究

在工业化时期,美国人们形成了"私人时间"的观念。他们普遍相信,过长的工时侵犯了自己的私人时间,而拥有私人时间是共和国公民的天然权利。这种思想成为缩短工时运动的重要思想基础,促进运动的蓬勃发展。然而,受契约自由传统的影响,运动仅取得了有限的成就,工人获得合理工作时间和私人时间的路途仍很艰辛漫长。
