Adolescent Protective Factors Promoting Resilience in Young Adults at Risk for Depression

In a longitudinal, community-based study, adolescent protective factors for those at risk for depression were identified that were associated with resilient outcomes in young adulthood. For those with childhood risk factors for major depression, significant protective factors included family cohesion, positive self appraisals, and good interpersonal relations. Findings may help inform the development of prevention and treatment programs for adolescents vulnerable to depression. Implications for future research and clinical practice are discussed.     

Factors Affecting Children’s Adjustment to the Death of a Parent: The Social Work Professional’s Viewpoint

This study investigated factors affecting the adjustment of parentally bereaved children by reviewing existing literature and comparing it to observations made by professional social workers. Interviewees had between 1 1/2 and 22 years of experience in counseling bereaved children. The specific factors examined were age and sex of the bereaved child, circumstances of the death, and adjustment of remaining caregiver. Participants (n = 5) responded to an interview instrument specifically designed for this study which contained seven in-depth, open-ended questions. Participants’ replies were mostly in accordance with the literature, but also generated some new perspectives that had not been previously considered for this study and had not appeared in the literature. This study has implications for practice with parentally bereaved children and their surviving caregivers.Rebecca M.

影响我国都市圈经济总量的因素分析——基于12大都市圈的面板数据

借助当前我国发展较成熟的12个都市圈的相关数据，通过建立多元回归模型，考察分析都市圈经济发展背后的影响因素，研究表明：都市圈中心城市辐射力、都市圈联系力和设施水平等因素对经济发展较快的都市圈经济总量有显著影响；经济发展较慢的都市圈的经济总量则主要受到都市圈消费能力和教育水平的影响，还受到一些都市圈软实力因素的影响。     

因子模型门槛效应的LM和Wald检验及其统计性质研究

门槛因子模型可以有效地刻画高维度时间序列的共变特征和区制转换行为,具有良好的可解释性和预测能力。针对因子载荷矩阵存在的门槛效应,本文提出了拉格朗日乘子和沃尔德检验方法,并给出了渐近分布,相关结果表明以上检验统计量具有良好的大样本性质和有限样本表现。在实证部分,以我国股市的行业指数作为研究对象,通过构建门槛因子模型来刻画我国股票市场波动的共变性特征和非对称效应。实证结果表明基于门槛因子模型可以很好地刻画中国股市行业收益率波动的共变特征和区制转换行为。

IT服务外包企业竞标成功因素分析

为了研究IT服务外包企业竞标成功因素,发挥企业竞争优势以适应市场需要的途径,以北京市IT服务外包企业为研究对象,通过问卷调查和数据分析,统计竞标成功和企业竞争优势的构成要素,归纳企业技术优势诸要素的构成模式,确定企业年龄与产品符合度成正相关的关系。通过聚类分析,发现不同国家来源的客户偏好选择不同年龄企业,但这只是一种表面现象,在其背后起重要影响作用的是产品符合度这一重要的竞标成功要素。最后结合定性分析和企业文化因素,提出了参考建议。

An Exploratory Study of Financial Remittances Among Non-Resident Indians in the United States

Remittances by immigrants and temporary workers of Indian origin in industrialized countries are a growing part of India’s economy. In this exploratory study we examine the social and economic characteristics affecting the remittance pattern of working households (or families) of Indian origin residing in the United States. As most previous studies have been undertaken at the macroeconomic level, our main contribution lies in identifying the household level factors that may influence remittances. Using an online and a mail-in survey of 39 households we find some of the significant factors affecting remittances. We also validate some of the remittance-related policies of the Indian government.
