消费文化与1990年以来大学题材小说的叙事成规

1990年代以来的大学题材小说浸染着浓厚的消费文化色彩,并促其生成了一套深层的叙事成规。污名化的同质叙述对大学的指认带有否定性价值。二元对立的惯习叙事模式,主要表现为堕落与守望的对峙。新闻化的叙事使小说充斥着大量新闻信息,小说的想象与虚构因素匮乏。人物塑造类型化、浅显化,缺少新意与深意。     

涉农贷款与农民收入关系实证研究——以易县农村信用社为例

农村金融机构是促进农民增收的重要力量,但我国现阶段金融体系服务农民增收的力量相对薄弱,农村信用社是支农的主力军,而其自身能力有限,很难独立支撑起服务“三农”的重任.本文主要以农业信贷政策理论、农民收入增长理论为依据,灵活运用多种计量方法对易县农村信用社涉农贷款与农民收入关系进行研究,得出相应结论,为促进易县农民收入增长提出建议.     

河北省生源地助学贷款需求、供给与还款分析——以河北农业大学为例

：生源地助学贷款具有承贷主体多元化、放款形式多样化、贷款管理属地化等优势,作为国家助学贷款的有益补充具有广阔的发展前景。根据对河北农业大学生源地助学贷款在校生和毕业生的问卷调查和数据分析,在需求和供给方面存在着供给量不足、供给形式单一等问题;在还款方面,存在着还款期限短、违约率较高等问题。针对上述问题,应通过加大政策扶持力度、建立风险基金和信用体系等措施来解决,以促进河北省生源地助学贷款的健康发展。     

Do Irrelevant Commodities Matter?

We study how to evaluate allocations independently of individual preferences over unavailable commodities. We prove impossibility results that suggest that such evaluations encounter serious difficulties. This is related to the well known problem of performing international comparisons of standard of living across countries with different consumption goods. We show how possibility results can be retrieved with restrictions on the domain of preferences, on the application of the independence axiom, or on the set of allocations to be ranked. Such restrictions appear more plausible when the objects of evaluation are allocations of composite commodities, characteristics, or human functionings rather than ordinary commodities.     

Compulsive buying: Does it matter how it’s measured?

The primary purpose of the present study is to compare and contrast the validity and reliability of the Faber and O’Guinn [Faber, R. J., & O’Guinn, T. C. (1992). A clinical screener for compulsive buying. Journal of Consumer Research, 19, 459–469] and Edwards [Edwards, E. A. (1993). Development of a new scale for measuring compulsive buying behavior. Financial Counseling and Planning, 4, 67–84] compulsive buying scales within a nomological network. Although both psychometric scales were designed to measure compulsive buying, the two instruments appear to be distinct in how they conceptualize the compulsive buying phenomenon. The seven-item compulsive buying scale developed by Faber and O’Guinn (1992) is the most commonly used scale for measuring compulsive buying. The Edwards scale in contrast is not as well-known. Empirical results of the present study suggest that the two compulsive buying scales may be capturing either separate constructs, or different dimensions of the same compulsive buying construct. Edwards (1993) compulsive buying scale, for instance, is correlated with materialism but not with attitudes toward money while the Faber and O’Guinn scale is not correlated with materialism but is correlated with attitudes toward money. The present study’s results suggest, among other things, that it does in fact appear to matter how compulsive buying is measured.     

Lightning strikes twice: Lessons learned from two food poisoning incidents in Japan

This case study examines the unique occurrence of two food contamination crises at Snow Brand Milk Products Co., Ltd., the top company in the Japanese milk product industry. The separate incidents of food poisoning occurred in 1955 and 2000; the latter incident, involving more than 10,000 victims, was the worst case of food poisoning in Japanese history.

国家助学贷款由入学地改为生源地的必要性与可行性

国家助学贷款已开展多年,然而执行情况并不理想,造成助学贷款难的原因很多。入学地商业银行办理助学贷款过程中对执行国家助学贷款政策产生了各种忧虑,银行没有开办助学贷款的积极性可以说是一种必然结果。只有改入学地助学贷款为生源地助学贷款,才有可能解决长期困扰学校、学生、银行的这一难题,使贫困学生顺利圆自己的大学梦。     

An exploratory study of the relation between concrete and abstract product attributes

It is argued that the abstract product attributes that consumers mention in a research setting should not be interpreted as combinations of the more concrete attributes consumers mention. Results from a laddering study show that a majority of elicited abstract product attributes are unrelated to concrete attributes. Furthermore, these unrelated abstract attributes are about different product aspects than the related abstract attributes. These findings are discussed in the light of the problem of ‘actionability', and of models for new product development.     

‘Wallbanking’, innovativeness and computer attitudes: 25–40-year-old ATM-users on the spot

Attitudes towards ‘wallbanking’ (making use of banking services through an Automated Teller Machine (ATM)) and self-reported frequency of wallbanking have been related to attitudes towards innovations and towards computers. The investigation also included the perception of advantages as well as disadvantages of wallbanking, factors that determine one's choice of a bank, man-machine problems related to the use of an ATM, and demographic factors. Using a sample of 201 respondents in the age range of 25 to 40 years, structural equation modeling revealed that wallbanking attitudes have a major influence on the frequency of using ATMs. The innovativeness attitude ‘New is wasteful’ also showed a clear negative link with the frequency of wallbanking. On the other hand, the relationship between computer attitudes and the frequency of using ATMs had to be rejected. Income and education proved to have an indirect link with the frequency of wallbanking, which refines other research findings. These results may reflect specific financial management characteristics of the age group under investigation.
