The Impact of Mexico's Retraining Program on Employment and Wages

This article analyzes the impact and effectiveness of the Mexicanlabor retraining program for unemployed and displaced workers—Programade Becas de Capacitación para Trabajadores (PROBECAT).The strategy followed is to compare the post-training labormarket experiences of trainees with those of a comparison group—amatched sample of unemployed individuals who were eligible for,but did not participate in, PROBECAT. The results of this exercisesuggest that participation in PROBECAT reduced the mean durationof unemployment for both men and women trainees and increasedthe monthly earnings of men, but not of women. The results alsoindicate that the post-training earnings effect varied systematicallyby level of education attained, with the largest earnings increases(of about 28 to 37 percent) found for men with six to twelveyears of education.     

新型农村合作医疗保险制度参保模式研究

当前新型农村合作医疗保险制度实行自愿加入的参保模式,但在实施中产生了“逆向选择”等诸多问题。笔者从制度设计目标和制度变迁模式等角度分析了实行强制保险的必要性,认为目前实行自愿参保仍然是未来一段时间内的现实选择,但是,当新型农村合作医疗保险制度基本覆盖全国农村居民之后,就必须开始着手推进强制保险工作。     

以AKIN标准评估克林霉素所致急性肾损伤27例临床研究

目的回顾性分析克林霉素导致急性肾损伤(AKI)的临床特征、治疗及预后,旨在提高对克林霉素相关肾损害的认识。方法选取2008年8月~2012年11月昆明医科大学第一附属医院肾内科27例克林霉素治疗后出现AKI的患者进行分析。结果 20例(74.07%)接受血液净化治疗,7例(25.93%)患者接受口服透析治疗,出院后28天随访27例患者血清肌酐(SCr)均恢复正常。结论克林霉素导致肾脏损害的临床突出表现为恶心、呕吐、腰痛、腹痛、发作性肉眼血尿和少尿性AKI,罕见以往认为常见的发热、皮疹及嗜酸细胞增多等临床表现。约74%患者需要血液净化治疗,观察患者近期预后良好,远期肾功能需进一步观察。

Investment portfolio balancing: application of a generic self-organizing fuzzy neural network (GenSoFNN)

In contrast to short-term stock trading, portfolio managers are interested in the medium- to long-term peaks and troughs of the stock price cycles as signals to balance their stock portfolios – the predicted trough is the signal to buy the stock and the predicted peak is the signal to sell the stock. As statistical models are generally inadequate or incapable of providing such portfolio balancing signals, we propose using the generic self-organizing fuzzy neural network (GenSoFNN)—a fuzzy neural system – as a tool for portfolio balancing. The network adopts the supervised learning approach to detect inflection points in the stock price cycles, and a modified locally weighted regression algorithm is employed to smooth the stock cycles. The GenSoFNN-based portfolio balancing system was evaluated with experiments conducted using 23 stocks from the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ, and the results showed an average profit return of 65.66%. The contributions of the proposed GenSoFNN intelligent portfolio balancing system are twofold: it can be used as an efficient trading solution and it can provide decision support in trading via its generated rules.

Experiential Learning – A Case Study of the Use of Computerised Stock Market Trading Simulation in Finance Education

Abstract

Finance is a popular programme of study in UK higher education despite it being a challenging subject that requires students to understand and apply complex and abstract mathematical models and academic theories. Educational simulation is an active learning method found to be useful in enhancing students’ learning experience, but there has been limited pedagogic research attention on its use in finance education within the UK. This paper, utilising an on-line survey, provides a snapshot of the current usage of finance-related simulations across the 97 UK universities offering finance programmes. The paper also reports the findings of a case study that offers insights into the effectiveness of introducing computerised simulation into a postgraduate finance course from both a student and tutor perspective. It highlights an enhancing learning experience for students through concrete experience and reflective observation, increasing their understanding of difficult and complex finance concepts.
