The ‘right time’ – negotiating the timing of interviews with vulnerable young people

Participant retention is a key factor in determining the success of longitudinal research. Challenges in re-locating and retaining participants over the long term are major issues for researchers working with young people who face adversity and experience frequent changes in circumstances. This article reports on a study of vulnerable young people and their transition into adulthood. Rather than the more conventional schedule-based approach to locating and re-interviewing young people, a relational process, the ‘right time’ framework, was used to facilitate young people's involvement in the study. Embedded in the ‘right time’ framework is recognition of the diverse and fluctuating circumstances that shape young people's availability for interviews. Several case examples are considered which amplify the way that the ‘right time’ framework allowed the research to navigate around these circumstances. The case examples highlight the value young people attached to being involved in the research, the influence on the ‘right time’ of wider relational tensions for young people and the need to negotiate researcher status as a different sort of adult. The ‘right time’ framework contributed to a high retention rate in the study generating a more representative sample and enhancing the subsequent data analysis by providing valuable insights into the lives of these vulnerable young people.

Heteroscedastic Global Tests that the Regression Parameters for Two or More Independent Groups are Identical

Simulation results are reported on methods that allow both within group and between group heteroscedasticity when testing the hypothesis that independent groups have identical regression parameters. The methods are based on a combination of extant techniques, but their finite-sample properties have not been studied. Included are results on the impact of removing all leverage points or just bad leverage points. The method used to identify leverage points can be important and can improve control over the Type I error probability. Results are illustrated using data from the Well Elderly II study.

四川地区农民持续增收的制约因素分析

根据四川省统计局的历年数据,本文分析了四川省农民收入增长的规律：改革来,四川农民收入总量上呈现逐年增长、增幅减缓的特征;四川农民收入水平在全国的排位下降。宏观经济分析表明,影响农民收入持续增长的主要有外部因素如制度障碍、农业投入不足、农资价格上涨等,内部因素如生产结构不合理、基础设施脆弱和农民素质不高等方面。因此,要构建农民增收的长效机制必须突破制度障碍。     

新形势下农资价格大幅上涨对“三农”的影响分析

文章首先以湖北省襄樊市的调研数据为依据对此次农资价格整体变动情况作了说明，紧接着对本轮农资价格大幅上涨的深层次原因、趋势及其对“三农”的影响作了深入剖析。结果表明，农资生产原料价格的迅猛上涨是此次农资价格上涨的导火索与根本推动力量，农资上涨基本上冲销了中央一系列惠农政策带给农民的实惠，使农民的种粮积极性遭受很大挫伤。最后从放开价格、加强宏观调控、改变补贴方式、健全营销网络、完善储备制度、加强市场监管及监测等方面提出政策建议。     

苏曼殊诗画的禅佛色彩

因有以禅入诗、入画的传统,中国历史上出现了为数众多的诗僧、画僧、诗画僧。文人墨客创作的“禅意诗”、“禅意画”与禅僧禅心外化的“禅诗”、“禅画”有本质上的区别。苏曼殊诗画带有明显的禅佛色彩,如其诗画里大量出现的禅佛名相以及带有“依我自悟”表征的“我”的形象第一人称代词,进一步强化了其现代禅僧的身份特征。
