Federal dissemination of child abuse and neglect information

This review examines the recent history of efforts at the federal level to disseminate child abuse and neglect information and describes current challenges to these endeavors. Two dissemination models are defined as are the problems associated with the adaptation of those models. Finally, general principles for transmitting information and the processes involved in such transmission are reviewed.     

Measuring associations with randomized response

The view of many in the social science research community, it appears, underestimates the scope and potential of the randomized response technique, particularly with regard to its analytic capabilities. That is, there seems to be some concern that this data collection strategy is, by its nature, analytically restrictive. However, the quantitative, unrelated question model of randomized response can be reformulated into a measurement error model, which in turn allows a wide range of multivariate approaches. Also illustrated through a simulated correlation experiment is the type of adjustments that need to be made to manipulate randomized response data more powerfully than has been the practice in the past.     

James空间的几何性质

James空间上有两个常用的等价范数。本文研究了在这两种范数下,各自的单位球上的极端点的判别条件,并举出一些例子。空间在任何一种范数下都不是严格凸的。     

詹姆斯·奥康纳对现代性的“生态学批判”:检视及启示

生态学马克思主义理论本身蕴含着独具特色的现代性批判思想。以詹姆斯·奥康纳为例,从他对现代性的“生态学诊断”、对传统历史唯物主义的“生态学批判”以及对社会主义的“生态学重建”三个方面展开讨论,通过其揭示现代性的生态学旨趣。     

文化互动与译者身份建构——以理雅各《中庸》英译本为例

文化是主体身份的内在规约性,主体可以通过与文化的互动建构自己的身份。理雅各通过各种方法建立儒家思想与基督教义之间的联系,用基督教义来阐释、充实、拓展甚至代替儒家思想。理雅各英译《中庸》的目的是汲取儒家思想,以便更好地为传教服务;而当儒家思想与基督教义矛盾时,他会放弃儒家思想而坚持基督教义。文化在理雅各的翻译中无处不在,正是在文化冲突、文化协调、文化顺应与文化互鉴的翻译中,理雅各建构了自己的多种身份,推动了儒家思想与基督教义的互动与交流。中西文化差异悬殊,唯有相互比照,文明互鉴,才能取长补短,相互促进。文化交流需要妥善处理文化因素,化冲突为合作,为文化互鉴寻找对话的舞台,帮助中国文化真正走出去。     

Theoretical evaluation of prediction error in linear regression with a bivariate response variable containing missing data

Methods for linear regression with multivariate response variables are well described in statistical literature. In this study we conduct a theoretical evaluation of the expected squared prediction error in bivariate linear regression where one of the response variables contains missing data. We make the assumption of known covariance structure for the error terms. On this basis, we evaluate three well-known estimators: standard ordinary least squares, generalized least squares, and a James–Stein inspired estimator. Theoretical risk functions are worked out for all three estimators to evaluate under which circumstances it is advantageous to take the error covariance structure into account.     

Some comparative studies on testing parallelism of several straight lines under heteroscedastic variances

This paper examines the robustness of the Welch test, the James test as well as Tan's ANOVA test (to be referred as F_β test) for testing parallelism in k straight lines under heteroscedasticity and nonnormality. Results of Monte Carlo studies demonstrate the robustness of all tests with respect to departure from normality. Further, there is hardly any difference between these methods with respect to both power and size of the test.     

文化软实力与典籍外译之话语权研究

典籍翻译对于提升中国形象、加强国家文化软实力以及抵制文化霸权有着极其重要的作用.但在中华典籍英译的过程中,西方传教士或汉学家一直占据着主导地位,其译本在国内外评价很高,在国外销量也很大,影响很广,但我们却发现理雅各《易经》英译本存在着许多误译,作为文化殖民者,他还有意通过翻译消解和扭曲了中国特有的文化意象,剥夺了中国人的话语权,严重损害了中国形象.典籍外译利在千秋,为了确保典籍文化在输出的同时不变形、不失真,汉语学者的译本断不可缺,不能简单地仅以销量作为典籍翻译成功与否的标准.     

詹姆斯·奥康纳的生态马克思主义理论

自20世纪60年代以来,由于环境问题的日益凸显及西方各种生态理论的出现,马克思主义在西方面临严峻的生态挑战。很多人主张将其作为一种过时的理论加以摒弃,甚至生态马克思主义的创立者也主张在保留批判方法的基础上发展马克思主义。经过三十多年的发展,生态马克思主义终于先后出现了以詹姆斯·奥康纳和约翰·贝拉米·福斯特为代表的成熟理论成果。由于理论倾向和资料限制,国内研究主要集中于福斯特,对奥康纳则关注不足,本文试图全面阐述奥康纳"历史的唯物主义观念""资本主义的第二重矛盾理论""生态社会主义理论"等思想,并在此基础上做出评价。
