论寻租腐败及其变异形式

寻租腐败是本质,其表现形式则在不同的时期各有不同。在新的历史时期,它的一个变种是"情人经济",而第二个变种就是"雅贪"、"雅贿"。如果说前者赤裸裸的展现在人们面前,后者则有较大的欺骗性。必须深刻地认识它,对其进行严厉的打击。     

中西文化差异与儒学的与时俱进

儒学要探讨现在使人类前途发生困惑的矛盾和问题,才会有发展的广阔前途,中华文化的自信来自重新审视"东方落后"这套欧洲中心主义话语结构;儒家代表的思考是一种独特互系性风格,与西方人与自然对立以及割裂的思考,形成对照;要合理、准确的估计中华文化,开始认识它的开放性,最少保守、最能与时俱进,郝大维、安乐哲的比较方法值得借鉴。它把整个哲学文化传统作为域境,找到概念的特定意义,发现中、西方之间的结构性差异,使得困惑的哲学文化问题一目了然;在中、西方的多元文化视角中,"人"、"人权"、"个性"、"自由"、"民主"一系列概念开始从似曾熟悉变得既熟悉又生疏。     

剑与十字架——人文视域下马克思主义与基督教之比较

作为经典的人文思想,马克思主义与基督教之间有着明显的差异,前者是人类解放的革命理论,后者是人类宗教信仰的历史成果。前者是无神论的世界观,后者是有神论的创造说。前者体现了无产阶级的意识形态,后者掩盖着资产阶级的价值观念。但就人文关怀而言,两者又有着共同性。具体来说,在理想社会、人类福祉、博爱精神、公正秩序和自由权利等方面两者有着相通性和共同性。在此基础上,立足于当代中国构建以人为本的和谐社会的历史进程,强调两者在人文思想和人文关怀上的互助性关系和影响具有不可忽视的时代意义和实践特色。一方面,马克思主义以对人类现世的幸福理想的革命性追求可以填补基督教以对人类来世的天堂之国的遥远企求而形成的虚空,以坚实的行动来刷新软弱的救赎。另一方面,基督教的原罪观所确立的人类能力的有限性和人性的不完善性可提醒马克思主义在理想中应对人类理性有着冷静的把握,防止盲目冒进,以谦柔虔诚来不断渐近完美完善的理想社会。由此,行动融合信仰,以行动来确保以人为本的现实利益,以信仰来引导以人为本的精神追求。求同存异、共谋福祉、合作互助被视为马克思主义与基督教在人文思想上的携手前行的具体方式,也是提升和谐社会建设的拓新举措。     

平等与残障的疏离和回归——以德沃金为例的探讨

罗纳德·德沃金认为罗尔斯的差别原则忽视了残障问题,同时福利平等对残障问题的关注方式是有误的。德沃金的资源平等理论直面残障问题,认为残障是人格资源的缺乏。文章认为资源平等对残障问题的关注方式亦是有缺陷的,一方面,资源平等对残障问题的关注方式会导致对残障者的歧视,另一方面,资源平等在残障问题上错置了关注的重心,资源平等不应该仅仅关注残障者在人格资源方面的缺陷,而且还应该关注残障者面临的社会环境问题。     

How is ‘racism’ understood in literature about black and minority ethnic social work students in Britain? A conceptual review

ABSTRACT

This conceptual review interrogates a body of literature concerned with black and minority ethnic (BME) social work students in Britain since 2008. This period has coincided with an increasing focus on diversity in Higher Education, but also lower prominence being given to race in social work. In social work education, there has been increased attention to the needs and experiences of BME students. While most of this literature acknowledges racism, what constitutes racism and how it can be understood usually remain implicit. This review aimed to explore influential concepts in the literature and the ways these affected how racism is understood and identified. A search was carried out for articles in peer-reviewed academic journals between 2008 and 2018. In this article, we discuss four recurring concepts of racism in this literature: subtle racism, institutional racism, cultural difference and pedagogical solutions. The article analyses the assumptions underpinning these concepts, and the implications for how racism has been understood and investigated in this literature. The subsequent discussion calls for a more reflexive approach and identifies questions that future research could explore, which could lead to improved understandings of racism in social work education.     

A NEW TEST FOR EQUALITY OF VARIANCES FOR k NORMAL POPULATIONS

ABSTRACT

A simple test based on Gini's mean difference is proposed to test the hypothesis of equality of population variances. Using 2000 replicated samples and empirical distributions, we show that the test compares favourably with Bartlett's and Levene's test for the normal population. Also, it is more powerful than Bartlett's and Levene's tests for some alternative hypotheses for some non-normal distributions and more robust than the other two tests for large sample sizes under some alternative hypotheses. We also give an approximate distribution to the test statistic to enable one to calculate the nominal levels and P-values.     

On confidence limits for the difference of two binomial parameters

In the present article we suggest two new methods for calculating approximate confidence limits for the differences of the two binomial parameters. Different methods for determining the confidence interval are compared.     

城市创新能力的溢出效应与空间分布——对江苏省13地市的实证分析

城市创新能力的溢出受地理距离的限制,形成以创新能力强的城市为中心、创新能力弱的城市在边缘的"中心—边缘"空间格局。利用新经济地理学的空间自相关模型,分析江苏省13城市创新能力的空间分布特征,结果表明:城市创新能力具有明显的区域差异性,空间分布对创新型城市的发展有重要影响,城市之间呈现较强的空间依赖性和差异性,并初步形成了创新集群的"核心—边缘"空间分布格局。要实现创新型城市的快速健康发展,应打破空间约束,增强城市间技术创新的溢出效应,进而促进自身创新能力的提高。     

Sample Size

Conventionally, sample size calculations are viewed as calculations determining the right number of subjects needed for a study. Such calculations follow the classical paradigm: “for a difference X, I need sample size Y.” We argue that the paradigm “for a sample size Y, I get information Z” is more appropriate for many studies and reflects the information needed by scientists when planning a study. This approach applies to both physiological studies and Phase I and II interventional studies. We provide actual examples from our own consulting work to demonstrate this. We conclude that sample size should be viewed not as a unique right number, but rather as a factor needed to assess the utility of a study.
