The ‘affective security curriculum’: breeding JBs through the marriage of the academic and the jingoistic

How does the US recruit its citizen spies used to maintain and proliferate coercive power? I use an interdisciplinary approach and a framework of affect theory to argue that there is an ‘affective security curriculum’ (ASC) that assists in explaining the tendencies towards jingoism used in the recruitment and indoctrination of students – as future security workers – in certain academic disciplines. The ASC is precisely the phenomenon that works to construct this expert class and is produced by order words, the most crucial of which is ‘terrorism’, as well as larger cultural norms linked to neoliberalism that have achieved near total dominance since the 1980s. The ASC works by intensifying the (in)ability to act for those in its domain. The necessity of linguistically proficient security workers to the US’ hegemonic project makes this a question of considerable political importance. The ASC is a different approach to answering questions of how US hegemony is maintained. Whereas positivist research agendas, such as content analysis, and postpositivist approaches, such as critical discourse analysis, certainly have their uses (and to which my notion of ASC is indebted), paradigms such as these fail to focus on the engendering processes at work vis-à-vis the expert class, without which the discursive frames such methodologies analyse would simply dissipate. My overarching purpose in this paper is to develop the concept of the ASC, its quiddity, and to present at least an incipient methodology for analysing its critical duties. As my primary intent is to introduce and conceptualize the theoretical framework of the affective security curriculum, the applied segment of this endeavour will be relatively brief – and is designed as a primer for further research.     

独生子女规模估算及其对政府奖励性支出的影响——以苏州市为例

本文将抽样调查资料与人口普查资料相结合,利用多种统计方法、多方案推算苏州市独生子女存量规模以及未来各年数量,并据此测算了未来各年政府可能的配套奖励性支出。研究结果表明：独生子女大规模进入婚育年龄将势必引起政策生育率的上升,未来各年政府用于独生子女家庭及其父母养老等计划生育政策奖励性支出将逐年增加．财政负担日益加重。建议政府对计划生育配套奖励政策适时进行调整,由现行的提供物质奖励向提供优质服务和社会保障转变。

20世纪60年代美中央情报局对中苏关系的评估--对美国情报委员会最新解密档案的分析

美国最新解密的中央情报局20世纪60年代初、中和末期撰写的中苏关系评估报告,通过不同层面,较客观地分析了此阶段中苏关系的变化情况,较为准确地判断和预测了中苏关系的走向.但是,不同体制国家文化背景上的巨大差异,对社会主义国家决策程序必要了解的不足,重视苏联动向的习惯,以及文革造成的中国国内局势的动乱,使得报告作者的理性考量也存在不少偏差,对中国方面的某些迹象缺乏敏感.     

中国近代海关贸易报告的传播及影响

中国近代海关贸易报告的主要传播渠道为:一是免费赠送,二是公开销售发行。其传播的范围和对象十分广泛,带有较强的国际性特征;传播对象不只局限于政府机构,更多的涉及到文化教育等部门。海关贸易报告的传播,树立了中国近代海关的国际形象,提高了报告的知名度和权威性,增加了报告的利用率,增强了其史料价值和学术价值。这说明海关贸易报告不是以往学界所认定的间谍性质,而是东西文化交流的重要载体和组成部分。     

A method of deriving valid approximate expressions for bias in ratio estimation

The expectation of a ratio of two statistics is usually obtained by the method in which the denominator is expanded into a binomial series around its mean. However, this method can less generally be employed because the expansion of the denominator is not always valid. This paper presents a device in which the expectation of a ratio of two statistics can more generally be obtained. The device is to adopt a positive value as ‘catalyzer’. It can be applied not only to the ratio of estimates based on samples but also to ratio of any two statistics, if the denominator is positive and finite.     

On the ABLUE of the normal mean from a censored sample

The asymptotically best linear unbiased estimate (ABLUE) of the normal mean is discussed. The estimate is based on k selected order statistics chosen from a singly or doubly censored large sample of size n(>k). The coefficients, the asymptotic relative efficiency of the estimate, and the optimum spacing of k real numbers between 0 and 1 which determines the optimum ranks of order statistics, are provided. A comparison between the ABLUE and the iterated maximum likelihood estimate is made.     

Estimate of variance of u-statistics

Let g(x₁,… , x_k) be a symmetric function with k arguments. Let U be a U-statistic based on a random sample of size n with kernel function g . In this paper, the problem of estimating var(U) is considered. Several estimators are compared by computer simulations and we conclude that two estimators, one is constructed as a U-statistic and the other is the bootstrap estimator, give good estimates for many U-statistics.
