外交决策过程中的现代科学因素

现代科学的发展扩大了外交信息的接收范围,提高了反馈的速率,系统的决策理论成为指导外交决策的方法论,外交咨询机构科学化、专业化的工作提高了外交决策的效率。外交决策实现了从经验决策到科学决策的转变。外交决策过程中的现代科学因素愈发凸现。     

社会主义因素在资本主义内部的生成与扩张--马克思恩格斯思想的历史考察及其现实意义

在马克思恩格斯看来,资产阶级极大地发展了社会生产力,为社会主义创造了物质和精神条件;合作经济是向共产主义过渡的中间环节;股份制是资本主义经济转化为社会主义经济的过渡形式等,标志着社会主义新社会的因素已经在资本主义内部生成与扩张.理性地审视当代社会主义与资本主义发展的现实,深入挖掘马克思恩格斯思想的丰富内涵,对于建设中国特色社会主义具有重要的现实意义.     

非劳动收入与按生产要素分配

非劳动收入是我国当前收入分配制度中的重要内容。由于人们对非劳动收入至今仍存在各种不同的看法,甚至把它等同于剥削收入,因此,有必要对非劳动收入作进一步分析,对其性质作出科学界定。文章通过分析劳动和生产要素在创造价值中的作用及决定分配的因素,提出了按生产要素分配不是剥削的观点。

Determining Six Sigma success factors in Turkey by using structural equation modeling

Since it includes strong statistical and executive techniques, Six Sigma (SS) succeeded in many countries and different sectors. Especially successful SS applications of many international companies have increased the interest of other companies. As a result of this, the number of implemented SS projects in various countries has increased. Although successful SS projects are often in mind, the number of failed projects because of various reasons is not as low as to be ignored. As well as there are many factors that affect the success level of SS projects, and these factors vary according to countries. In this study, a survey was applied to 117 people who have 1 of SS belts in order to determine success levels of the SS projects in Turkey. By using explanatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling, critical success factors were determined. According to the results, project selection and its scope, quality culture and defining and measuring of metrics were determined as the top factors that are affecting success levels of SS projects applied in Turkey. The results of the study were also compared with the results of similar projects implemented in other countries.     

Heteroscedasticity Robust Panel Unit Root Tests

This article proposes new unit root tests for panels where the errors may be not only serial and/or cross-correlated, but also unconditionally heteroscedastic. Despite their generality, the test statistics are shown to be very simple to implement, requiring only minimal corrections and still the limiting distributions under the null hypothesis are completely free from nuisance parameters. Monte Carlo evidence is also provided to suggest that the new tests perform well in small samples, also when compared to some of the existing tests. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.     

The internalising and externalising problems of adolescents in Croatia: Socio‐demographic and family victimisation factors

This study assessed Croatian adolescents' problems in relation to socio‐demographic characteristics and experienced family violence in early and late adolescence. A national representative sample of 1,780 Croatian students (45.3% males) in two age groups representing early (M = 13.20; SD = 0.42) and late adolescence (M = 18.14; SD = 0.38) participated. The questionnaire included the Youth Self‐Report, modified version of ISPCAN Child Abuse Screening Tool – Children's Version, and socio‐demographic data. Results show that internalising problems were more present in female adolescents, in adolescents who perceived family financial hardship and in those whose biological parents did not live together. More externalising problems were reported in late adolescence by students who were living in large cities and whose families had either low, or above‐average, financial status. Adolescents who have experienced family violence were at higher risk of developing internalising and/or externalising problems.     

Engineering network operations for international manufacturing: strategic orientations,influencing factors and improvement paths

Abstract

Engineering operations contribute to international manufacturing networks (IMN) capabilities and thus improving their performance in an international context. The literature has recognized engineering networks (EN) with different strategic orientations (e.g. efficiency, innovation and flexibility); explored IMN capabilities in four key areas (i.e. accessibility, thriftiness ability, manufacturing mobility and learning ability); but provided diverse views on their possible connections. Especially, the received wisdom offers less guidance on how EN may enhance IMN capabilities. At the same time, the challenges of making effective decisions at the EN-IMN interface are compounded by a large number of influencing factors that are interrelated in a very complex manner. To cope with these challenges, the article reveals four ways that EN may contribute to IMN capabilities, identifies 15?key influencing factors and suggests optimal paths to enhance IMN capabilities based on the interpretive structure model (ISM) method.     

The finite-time ruin probability of a discrete-time risk model with GARCH discounted factors and dependent risks

The finite-time ruin probability of a discrete-time risk model with dependent stochastic discount factors and dependent insurance and financial risks is investigated in this paper. Assume that the stochastic discount factors follow a GARCH process and the one-period insurance and financial risks form a sequence of independent and identically distributed random pairs, which are the copies of a random pair with a bivariate Sarmanov dependent distribution. When the common distribution of claim-sizes is heavy-tailed, we establish an asymptotic estimate for the finite-time ruin probability. Applying the result to a special case, we also get conservative asymptotic bounds. A numerical simulation is given at the end of the paper.
