Calibration of FI‐ISK,an Invasiveness Screening Tool for Nonnative Freshwater Invertebrates

The Freshwater Invertebrate Invasiveness Scoring Kit (FI‐ISK) is proposed as a screening tool for identifying potentially invasive freshwater invertebrates. FI‐ISK was adapted from the Fish Invasiveness Scoring Kit (FISK) of Copp, Garthwaite, and Gozlan, which is an adapted form of the Weed Risk Assessment (WRA) of Pheloung, Williams, and Halloy. Initial assessments using FI‐ISK, which include confidence (certainty/uncertainty) rankings by the assessor to each response, were calibrated to determine the most appropriate score thresholds for classifying nonnative species into low‐, medium‐, and high‐risk categories, using both the original medium‐to‐high risk threshold scores for the WRA (i.e., ≥6) and for FISK (i.e., ≥19). Patterns of the assessor's confidence, when making the responses during the FI‐ISK assessments, were also examined. Using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, FI‐ISK was shown to distinguish accurately (and with statistical confidence) between potentially invasive and noninvasive species of nonnative crayfish (Decapoda: Astacidae, Cambaridae, Parastacidae), with the statistically appropriate threshold score for high‐risk species scores being ≥16. FI‐ISK represents a useful and viable tool to aid decision‐ and policymakers in assessing and classifying freshwater invertebrates according to their potential invasiveness.

Income Comparison as a Determining Mechanism of Class Identification: A Quantitative and Simulation Study Using Japanese Survey Data

This paper questions whether personal income comparison explains the distributive gap between income and class identification by exploring the following two issues: empirical validity of income comparison as the determinant of class identification, and theoretical validity of income comparison for the distributive gap. For the first issue, we conduct a statistical analysis using data from the Social Stratification and Social Mobility surveys (1975–2005), and the Stratification and Social Psychology-I survey (2010). We find that the criteria for choosing reference groups changed historically from residential proximity to occupational equality. In addition, income comparison with sensitive to lower-income possessors and a distorted perception of income difference significantly affected class identification, except for the year of 1985. The simulation analysis employed to examine the second issue clarified that income comparison with the above-mentioned features yields a less skewed distribution compared to that of class identification. The data also indicates that the empirical conditions of income are satisfied for realization of this result. Thus, we could ascertain empirical and theoretical validity of income comparison as explanation for the distributive gap between income and class identification.     

The occurrence of fingerprint characteristics as a two-dimensional poisson process

The individuality of n fingerprint is based on the configuration of occurences of the ten Galton characteristics ( ridge endings, forks, etc. ). A model ( Osterburg, Parthasarthy, Raghavan, Sclove, 1977 ) for the occurence of these characteristics, in terms of a grid of cells, is further developed. The occurence of the characteristics is modelled as a two-dimensional multivariate Poisson process. This approach allows one to treat multiple occurrences in a more satisfying way than in Osterburg, Parthasarathy, Raghavan and Sclove ( 1977 ) or Sclove ( 1978 )     

华裔美国文学的族裔想象和文化认同

《中国佬》、《喜福会》、《甘加丁之路》和《典型的美国佬》这四部华裔美国文学作品具有鲜明的族裔意识,在颠覆话语陈规、重写历史和建构身份的过程中发挥了积极的作用。对这些个案进行分析,可以从不同层面阐释文化认同的复杂性和策略的多变性,揭露和批判种种表象背后所隐匿的话语霸权和意识形态性。     

企业家与职业经理的心理特质差异——再论企业家与职业经理特征识别模型

对于企业家的认识及其与职业经理的区分,不仅是一个实践问题,也是一个理论问题。在企业中,企业家既要承担自己的个人风险也要承担企业的风险,而经理人却只是承担自己的个人风险,因此企业家相对比职业经理具有更加极端的心理特质:(1)富于幻想,有强烈的创业冲动;(2)自信,有强烈的成就欲;(3)叛逆,乐于冒险;(4)狂热,偏执。该文对企业家与职业经理的心理特质差异进行探讨,丰富了原有研究。     

合同诈骗犯罪的特点及司法实践中的问题与对策

合同诈骗犯罪严重破坏了社会主义市场经济秩序,影响着市场经济的健康发展。当前形势下,合同诈骗犯罪呈现出了新的特点。司法实践中,在认定合同诈骗犯罪的问题上,存在着法律依据不统一、司法机关认识不一致等问题,为防止合同诈骗,应健全法律和各项规章制度。打击这类犯罪,要标本兼治,重在治本。     

社会性别想像与男性的自我认同--对20世纪后半叶男性叙事文本的一种考察

寻求自我认同是20世纪中国文学的重要关切,自我认同的建立必须借助他者的参与,而两性关系无疑提供了最基本的他者单元。20世纪后半叶男性叙事文本中的社会性别想像,尤其是对社会性别权力关系的表述,正是表征男性自我认同建构抑或焦虑的重要符码。
