以思想政治理论课为载体推进高校生命教育

本文以高校学生及教育实际情况为切入点分析了高校生命教育的紧迫性,进而提出了思想政治理论课是当前高校生命教育的主要课程载体的理念,并就思想政治理论课教学如何推进高校生命教育提出了几点建议。     

打破课程界限,以项目为主线开展模具专业课教学

模具专业在各个工科高职院校开设较为普遍,是典型的一个以某门技术为核心的技能专业。传统的教学方式存在繁、散等缺点,通过项目教学法的改革,以"工学结合"模式开展教学,收到了较好的效果。     

建筑制图与AutoCAD课程整合研究

建筑制图与AutoCAD课程是中职院校土木工程专业学生必修的专业基础课,正确识读和绘制工程图样是学生必备的基本技能。文章针对建筑制图和AutoCAD在传统教学过程中存在的问题,提出将建筑制图与AutoCAD整合起来教学,使学生同时学好这两门课程,并且培养学生的空间思维能力、识图能力和动手操作能力。

鄂西北某院患者输血知识认知情况及教育需求分析

目的:调查综合性医院患者对安全输血的认知情况,以便有针对性地开展培训,降低风险。方法:自行设计问卷,调查185名患者对安全输血的认知程度和需求。结果:患者对涉及输血不良反应、自体输血等内容的认知相当欠缺。结论:应当持续性的患者进行安全输血知识培训,切实保障输血安全。     

New Keynesian Phillips Curve and inflation dynamics in Australia

The New Keynesian Phillips Curve (NKPC) was developed as a response to the New Classical critique that Keynesian macroeconomics lacked micro-foundations. The NKPC provides theoretical micro-foundations that attempt to explain, inter alia, nominal rigidities and, explicitly price stickiness. This paper investigates the validity of the NKPC for Australia. In contrast to the findings for the USA and Euro area, we find that neither the output gap nor marginal cost appears to be a key driving force variable across different set of instruments and estimators (GMM and 2SLS) over the sample period from 1959 to 2009. The flattening of the NKPC along with significant presence of price stickiness is also found in the data. In particular, the reduced form coefficients and implied estimates from the structural parameters of the model support the view that inflation dynamics are forward looking while the role of lagged inflation is also statistically important only after 1980s. However, we claim that the forward looking baseline NKPC contrary to the hybrid NKPC is stable and better explains inflation dynamics for the Australian economy.     

Simultaneous versus sequential information processing

Subjects update prior information simultaneously versus sequentially. The mean prediction is remarkably close to the correct Bayesian estimate with simultaneous information, but differs significantly conditional on whether good news precedes bad news or vice versa.     

A simple method for estimating unconditional heterogeneity distributions in correlated random effects models

I propose a general, simple approach to recovering an unconditional heterogeneity distribution when a conditional distribution has been estimated. The approach can be applied to cross section models and panel data models-both static and dynamic-with unobserved heterogeneity.     

Valuing improved hurricane forecasts

The value to households of improved hurricane forecasts is estimated from a pilot survey using discrete choice econometric methods. Each household is willing to pay approximately $13 for improvements in forecast attributes such as landfall time and position, wind speed, and storm surge.     

Endowment effects in contests

We experimentally study overbidding in contests and find that overbidding is significantly higher when subjects are given a large per-experiment endowment rather than when the endowment is given per-period. Risk-aversion and non-monetary utility of winning can partially explain our findings.
