This paper introduces the “Extended Pareto” axiom on Social Welfare Functions and gives a characterization of the axiom when
it is assumed that the Social Welfare Functions that satisfy it in a framework of preferences over lotteries also satisfy
the restrictions (on the domain and range of preferences) implied by the von-Neumann Morgenstern axioms. With the addition
of 2 other axioms: “Anonymity” and a weak version of Arrow's Independence of Irrelevant Alternatives axiom: “Weak IIA” it
is shown that there is a unique Social Welfare Function called “Relative Utilitarianism” that consists of normalising individual
utilities between 0 and 1 and adding them.

This article studies the dominance solvability (by iterated deletion of weakly dominated strategies) of general scoring rule voting games when there are three alternatives. The scoring rules we study include Plurality rule, Approval voting, Borda rule, and Relative Utilitarianism. We provide sufficient conditions for dominance solvability of general scoring rule voting games. The sufficient conditions that we provide for dominance solvability are in terms of one statistic of the game: sufficient agreement on the best alternative or on the worst alternative. We also show that the solutions coincide with the set of Condorcet Winners whenever the sufficient conditions for dominance solvability are satisfied. Approval Voting performs the best in terms of our criteria. 相似文献

The authors reviewed the conflict of interest policies of 9 academic medical centers in the United States and interviewed members of the Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) and Conflict of Interest Committees (COICs) at those institutions. They found that many institutions used processes for reporting and managing conflicts of interest that were more decentralized than the processes described in their policies. Also, most institutions had no clear and comprehensive policy to guide investigators regarding disclosure of conflicts of interest to potential research participants. Considerable differences in understanding of conflict of interest policies were observed between IRB and COIC officials. 相似文献

‘If empirically meaningful interpersonal comparisons have to be based on indifference maps, as we have argued, then the Independence of Irrelevant Alternatives must be violated. The information which enables us to assert that individual A prefers x to y more strongly than B prefers y to x must be based on comparisons by A and B of x and y not only to each other but also to other alternatives. Kenneth J. Arrow, ‘Social Choice and Individual Values, p. 112. In a framework of preferences over lotteries, we show that an axiom system consisting of weakened versions of Arrow's axioms has a unique solution. ‘Relative Utilitarianism’ consists of first normalizing individual von Neumann-Morgenstern utilities between 0 and 1 and then summing them. 相似文献

AbstractIn the current moment of social, political, economic and environmental disquiet, unprecedented numbers of children have been forced to leave their homes and settle in new communities. As schools worldwide receive increasing numbers of refugee youth, there is a pressing need for thoughtful educational research that inquires into the unique individual needs and experiences of displaced learners. Given that students’ journeys are shaped by movements across physical, cultural and linguistic spaces, we suggest that related scholarship might benefit from Third Space theory. Within this theoretical framework, neither language nor culture is static. Rather, both are continuously shaped through interactions – including those that are non-verbal. For students who may be learning in an unfamiliar language, visual methodologies offer a means and venue for communication. To explore how refugee youth might benefit from Third Space theory and visual methodologies, we first review scholarship that examines how children and schools negotiate educational space. We then describe a series of methodologies that scholars might consider when conducting research with refugee youth, including photovoice, fotonovela, digital storytelling and quilting. Significantly, pairing a Third Space theoretical framework with visual and participatory methodologies may address issues of language, power, vulnerability and ethics. 相似文献

"Reaching the Deprived Child" is India's theme for the Year of the Child. This paper describes the recording system employed in the Community Health Programme of Christian Medical College, Ludhiana and how it enables us to reach not only deprived children, but those in danger of deprivation, the majority being the children of the socioeconomically underprivileged. Many are nutritionally normal at 12 months but 57 per cent of the males and 75 per cent of the females suffer from malnutrition in the 2nd year, 50 per cent of females having severe malnutrition. The etiology, discerned from a study of the deprived, allowed a preventive approach to be designed for those at risk. Intensive nutrition education is given in the homes, commencing as each baby reaches 5 months, and mothers are taught to feed them on suitable modifications of the food available in Punjab homes. The results in respect of 123 babies who had a minimum of 6 months of this care, are described. Complete compliance was achieved in 82 per cent and in the rest partial compliance was achieved. The nutritional status of these infants, compared with a control group, improved greatly, especially in females in whom the prevalence of normal nutrition rose from 26 to 61 per cent and that of severe malnutrition fell from 50 to 17 per cent. The success of this approach depends on an accurate knowledge of the community since this allows priorities to be selected with clarity and maximum effort to be expanded upon those in greatest need. 相似文献
