Social work students' conception on roles within the family in Greece

The present article is based on a small-scale research that took place with third-year students in the department of social work at Technological Educational Institute of Patras. During class the students, who undertake the laboratory course ‘Social Work with Families’, were asked to discuss family roles and depict them on drawings. Analysing their drawings in a qualitative approach the findings suggest that students adopt traditional views on family issues and the family roles. Various gender stereotypes and prejudices were reflected in students' drawings and this is alarming for both social work education and practice.     

A new financial stress index model based on support vector regression and control chart

Financial stress index (FSI) is considered to be an important risk management tool to quantify financial vulnerabilities. This paper proposes a new framework based on a hybrid classifier model that integrates rough set theory (RST), FSI, support vector regression (SVR) and a control chart to identify stressed periods. First, the RST method is applied to select variables. The outputs are used as input data for FSI–SVR computation. Empirical analysis is conducted based on monthly FSI of the Federal Reserve Bank of Saint Louis from January 1992 to June 2011. A comparison study is performed between FSI based on the principal component analysis and FSI–SVR. A control chart based on FSI–SVR and extreme value theory is proposed to identify the extremely stressed periods. Our approach identified different stressed periods including internet bubble, subprime crisis and actual financial stress episodes, along with the calmest periods, agreeing with those given by Federal Reserve System reports.

Beyond tail median and conditional tail expectation: Extreme risk estimation using tail Lp-optimization

The conditional tail expectation (CTE) is an indicator of tail behavior that takes into account both the frequency and magnitude of a tail event. However, the asymptotic normality of its empirical estimator requires that the underlying distribution possess a finite variance; this can be a strong restriction in actuarial and financial applications. A valuable alternative is the median shortfall (MS), although it only gives information about the frequency of a tail event. We construct a class of tail L^p-medians encompassing the MS and CTE. For p in (1,2), a tail L^p-median depends on both the frequency and magnitude of tail events, and its empirical estimator is, within the range of the data, asymptotically normal under a condition weaker than a finite variance. We extrapolate this estimator and another technique to extreme levels using the heavy-tailed framework. The estimators are showcased on a simulation study and on real fire insurance data.     

从不同价值领域看中国传统价值观

对不同价值领域间关系的定位与评判是反映人们价值观的一个重要维度。中国传统价值观在道德价值与非道德价值领域、家庭生活与政治生活领域、道德价值与超道德的神圣价值领域、不同文化领域之间的关系上都表现出一元论的倾向。我们应立足于领域分离、价值多元的现代背景对其进行反思 ,以构建有中国特色的价值观念体系

论杜威“民主共同体”思想的价值维度

杜威以道德伦理价值为取向,提出了以“民主共同体”为理想的政治哲学思想。“民主共同体”体现了人的价值和尊严,符合人的本性。它是一种“实现每一个人的解放和全面发展”的社会理想状态。这是我们理解杜威“民主共同体”思想的逻辑前提。     

在多样化与价值导向之间保持必要的张力——江泽民关于社会主义价值观教育和管理的思想

价值观是人们在社会生活实践中形成的价值信念、信仰、理想、标准和具体价值取向的综合体系。江泽民认为，建设中国特色社会主义核心价值体系，必须正确看待和处理社会价值导向与人们多样化的价值观之间的差异与矛盾，尊重差异，包容多样，对人们的多样化的价值观加以引导和调节，树立适应科技进步和社会发展的先进价值观。     

政府绩效评估与企业绩效评估比较及借鉴意义

政府部门与企业同属社会公共组织,两者的绩效评估具有可比性。政府绩效评估和企业绩效评估可以相互借鉴:政府绩效评估可以借鉴企业绩效评估的评估技术、价值导向、评估方法;政府绩效评估可以引导企业绩效评估关注企业的社会责任。
